gun locker
still in an apartment so just looking for something to condense and keep my firearms safe in one place. already order a gun vault for my bed side pistol I leave at home for my wife. On sale at Midway for around 70.00 btw they retail for around 108? Walmart sells Stack-On gun lockers. Doesnt say anything about being able to bolt to anything though, studs in the wall etc.. This is more for a safety/annoyance to possible thieves. I really don't own anything (yet) to justify an expensive safe. Not to demeanor what I do have just saying 2 bolt guns 2 break over shotguns and 2 pistols that barely equal (if at at all) 2k isn't something I intend to brag about.
I may just go with some trigger locks, but I am clearing out a section and my wife was the one that made the suggestion.

Re: gun locker
Stack-On lockers do have holes for wall/floor mounting, so you're good there.
I don't fear guns; I fear voters and politicians that fear guns.

Re: gun locker
While it may not be the best, anything that will slow down a thief is a good idea. That is why it is a good idea not to make it obvious or tell anyone that you have guns in your apartment. That includes your landlord, family, friends and forum members. Loose lips sink ships.OldCannon wrote:Stack-On lockers do have holes for wall/floor mounting, so you're good there.

Re: gun locker
I feel ya on telling people. Family members though? Hmm guess it depends on the family I suppose. I wish these stack-ons were sold in store so I could see what I'm getting. Cabellas has one in sale for 265.00

Academy sells them too.

Re: gun locker
If you have a Harbor Freight Tools near you, they have a gun safe(Bunker Hill brand) and its about the same price as a Stack-On, but heavier steel door with locking bolts. We have a stack-on an it has been great. Now we're looking into getting that Bunker HIll one soon...need more room.

Re: gun locker
I agree with bolting it down. The peace of mind is worth losing part of the damage deposit.

Re: gun locker
I have a stack on gun locker bolted to the floor of my house. It will keep an honest man honest, but it wouldn't stop and probably won't even slow down a dedicated thief. It will keep your guns away from your kids though.

Re: gun locker
This the main reason behind it. I will look up a harbor freight. I want to say there is one about 30 minutes. hopefully they deliver!Geaux_loaded wrote:I have a stack on gun locker bolted to the floor of my house.
