Gun Safes

[flash]

I am in the market for a gun safe and need opinions on fire rating or any other info that I can find. I have looked at Dicks Sporting Goods at their largest one at around $600 but not sure what fire rating I should go with.I plan to store my important papers ,photo albums and such more so than guns. Any help would be much appreciated.:ntwrthy:

I'll be in the market for one real soon too... my gun cabinet is horribly insufficient, but I plan on moving soon, so I keep putting off getting a big/heavy one. I will be watching this topic. :)

[flash]

There is also a post on TC with lots of info ,Im still researching before I buy.

[flash]

More info on the other thread.

[grandsport]

Thread is used for clothing.

[flash]

Wrong thread. What color thread are you using?

[grandsport]

Using white at the moment.

[flash]

Sure you are going to store other things in there.

Just curious, is this why we never really got to see inside the truck. You were hiding your weapons. weren't you..

[flash]

No weapons in my trunk ,just spare parts ,tools ,cleaning supplies and spare tire. I dont pack weapons or someone would get shot very easily by stupid stunts they pull in traffic.

[Ms Grumpy]

I knew you were too good to be true.

[grandsport]

I also did not think you were a gun owner.

I am partial to the browning safes http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/gunsafes/detail.asp?value=002F&cat_id=160&type_id=42736&content=copper-series-gun-safes

I dont own a hand gun ,only hunting guns .I have a 22 riffle that I cant hit the broad side of a barn with, a 12 gauge pump shotgun and my dads old 410 for shooting squirrels. I dont really like guns ,these I got from my brother many years ago as he was going to pawn them. The guns will probably not go in the safe ,probably just the ammo. I personally think too many guns are on the street already ,I dont need more.

[flash]

I forgot to mention I dont hunt either ,other that shooting squirrels to keep them away from my house and groundhogs around my shop. Groundhogs can destroy open property like no animal Ive ever seen and are quite mean when cornered inside a shop building .

[grumpy]

I was an avid air rifle guy. My RWS 45 has a Beeman Blue ribbon scope on it.

[flash]

If my BIL doesnt do something to keep his cows inside the pasture I may be taking out the 12 gage pump shotgun and having fresh beef on the barby .One of his cows just destroyed one of my Leyland Cyprus trees next to my shop ,boy is Joan pissed .I have been babying them for 2 years now and hate to lose any of them .

[flash]

I have bought a gun safe and a upright freezer from the same store . I havent seen them yet but they beat the price I found elswhere and I will pick them up this Saturday . Now if we can figure out how to get them to the basement without killing someone .

Well, if you do end up killing someone, you should have the freezer space for them. lol

:eek: :D Now that's funny!

[flash]

Hopefully no one will die while unloading the safe ,but first I have to unload the other junk off my trailer. Just not enough hours in the day to do all that needs done.

[Ms Grumpy]

Never is flash, never is.

[flash]

Got the new freezer and gun safe today . Unloading those bad boys by myself was a pain in the back. Got them both in the basement and finally figured out how to open the thing. I found out just how much fun it is to move 600 pounds of steel without hurting myself. Very creative at the least. Now I need to get that co-worker of mine that likes to shoot moving objects to come kill me some deer to fill up that freezer.

[Ms Grumpy]

awe...no bodies in it ? I was hoping for some excitement tonight.

[flash]

You will have to talk to Grumpy for some excitement.

[Ms Grumpy]

You have a dirty mind. And to think I used to wonder why your name was "flash".

[flash]

Flash can find his mind in the gutter sometimes.

[grandsport]

Sometimes I wish I had me a gun.

[flash]

Grandsport would be dangerous with a gun. So would I.

[grandsport]

I might sell more cars!

[Ms Grumpy]

Grandsport would be dangerous with a gun. So would I.

We will start calling you guys Butch Cassidy and the Sun Dance Kid.

[flash]

Which one am I ?

[grandsport]

I will be sundance since I love Mr. Sun.:)

[Ms Grumpy]

I figured that the two of you would figure out which was which.

[flash]

Ive been called much worse ,even today as a matter of fact.
