If you don't have a safe

Recommended Posts

Or if HE is the only one that knows, (God forbid something happens to him) and the house get sold with the gun still in the wall.

Happened in Australia recently, New family moves into a house,begin renovating and finds a cache of pristine rifles and a number of hand guns neatly stored in a wall. Previous owner hid them there just before they had the firearm turn in......Think how many of those stories will be appearing NY State in 20 or 30 years.

And all this time I have been happy with my All-Clad pots. What was my father thinking?

 

My dad was pro2a before it was cool to be pro2a. Never realized how much he was until I signed up for ANJRPC life membership awhile back and they were all confused because he has the same name and he was a life member. They gave me his membership number as my own after we sorted it out. He had a stroke so I ended up with his collection a couple of years ago.

 

When I got married he figured I was finally a man and we needed a proper safe to store the 2 "proper" shotguns he got us. Much to my wife's a

amusement. So I had a safe at the same time as my first "at my address" guns.

 

Unfortunately, the way things are going, I may not have that pleasure with my first born at the time of his marriage.

I never noticed any safes for sale in my local Lowes (Hamilton).

 

Dicks over in Mercer has a set of them, but the cheapest one is $170, and honestly, you could get in it with a pair of tin snips. Or simply carry it away. But the idea of stacking weights inside is a good one. Not sure is the cheap safes can be bolted. I's have to look at them more closely. I prefer the heavy fireproof models with the keypad access, but now we are closer to the $1000 price point.

 

My issue with locking everything up is the tradeoff between security and quick access, especially with a low-end keyed model safe. My wife makes a good point that if someone breaks in during the night and manages to get past the dogs, I won't even wake up in time to do anything.

I paid around a thousand for my safe... but a grand to hold what amounts to thousands in hardware seems totally reasonable to me..

Ive noticed some lowes carry the centurion line of liberty.. they have the larger thicker ones online.

I saw an idea where someone took an old refrigerator and made a gun 'safe' out of it. I guess calling it a safe is a stretch but with a little work it would be better than nothing.

This item cannot be shipped to the following state(s): AK,GU,HI,PR,VI

 

Usually when you see on the web "can't be shipped to" - there is always NJ. Not this time.

Huh, maybe NJ is not the worst state after all... at least Sandusky lockers are still legal here :)

no, we are still the worse state. Notice it's basically not shipping outside the continental us.

    • I took down a deck that was attached to the house with a ledger board.  That area now needs to be re-sided.   Its a tough predicament because its such a small job, its only like 24 inches high by about 12 feet wide.  After 3 phone calls last fall i actualy got the guy who built the house to come by, he said "sure, i can do it when i get some down time".   I havent heard from him since. i get it.  its a small job.  I'm a pretty handy guy and out of desperation i could probably watch youtube videos and figure out how to patch this by myself but i think id get lost on trying to match the color and i only need a small amount of material i'd have no idea where to buy a small amount.  So i'm gonna try here if anybody knows a vinyl siding company who wouldnt mind doing what i suppose would be a 30 minute job.  I am fully aware that i would need to have his fee make it worth while for the project even though its such a small patch job.  
    • Thanks for the offer @High Exposure and hope you’re doing well.  I’ll be back in just under 2 weeks and we can all work something out. 
    • I bought the stainless Rossi lever carbine in .357 a few years ago, to match a bush rifle caliber to my revolvers. I'm pretty sure I paid under $400 at the time. Shoots sweet, reliable, more than accurate enough. When I was shopping for it I kept running into comments on gun forums (not this one, iirc) criticiziing the action compared to the Henrys, but I've never shot a Henry lever gun, and I guess I'm too dumb to notice any issues.
    • Interesting discussion. I have plenty of large, tall trees that I could affix antennae elements to . But then I'd be at the mercy of wind and lightning. Of course, a falling tree could easily take out an adjacent tower as well :-) My biggest mental obstacle with installing a tower is how to get all the pieces up the slope to the install point. A new tower is no doubt a pretty big expense, but I see them on FB Marketplace regularly for fairly cheap, provided the buyer takes the thing down.
    • Nice grab Stu! Beat me to it. @Mr.Stu And @DirtyDigz - Rumson is the next town over from me (maybe a 5 minute drive). I can be a middle-man and grab it if you can’t find a time that works for you guys and @Rob0115.
