Safe question

[bubbiesdad]

I am getting a safe at the end of this week. Do the members of this board with safes store ammo in them?

[Guest SUNTZU]

I don't know about this board, but most everybody I know keeps SOME ammo in there.

[Guest Verbal Kint]

Yep, always store ammo in my safes.

[Volzfan]

I always keep my ammo in my safe.

[SpacemanSpiff]

Yes, but I need to buy a lockable cabinet to move my ammo and/or powder into since I'm running out of room in my safe.

[ioerror001]

Loaded down with guns and ammo, might as well be in the same place when the SHTF.

[Guest Major Pain]

I keep lose boxes in safe, cases are stored in back room, not enough room in safe for all. (Note-always buy biggest safe you can.)--MP

Seriously if your shopping now, buy about triple what you think you will use, I'm gonna have to take my ammo out if I buy a couple more guns. I wish I would have went larger. At least I have both fire and water protection.

I bought one of the cheap metal gun safes from Walmart to house my ammo separate from my gun safe. Frees up space and keeps ammo from the wrong hands.

I completely agree. I bought one of those Lowes or Home Depot basic gun safes. Locks up the guns, papers and a few eirlooms but no fire protection and I ran out of space two purchases later.

ALSO (yea, its a big one) cheaper style safes dont have enough room built into them to let scoped rifles stand with the barrel in the slotted holder. The scope sets against the back of the safe and the rifle sort of flops against the one next to it. Generally sucks. Better than no safe.

ioerror is right. Get a monster the first time out.

+1

[Guest Rugerman]

Yes, although I am in the same boat as others and am running out of space. +1 on the "Buy a bigger safe than you think you will ever need". I have outgrown mine much faster than I wanted to (inherited a bunch of cool stuff unexpectedly.)

[Schadenfreude]

I have absolutely no ammo in my safe - there's barely enough room for the guns that are in there! By the biggest safe that you can afford.

[Guest Rugerman]

Amen, schaden. Truer words were never spoken. You can never have a big enough safe:D

[Almond27]

the bigger the better

[ninja128]

I totally agree with the size of the safe. If can't afford a bigger one.........wait and save for it...........you will be MUCH happier in the long run. NOBODY is satisified with the first safe they buy.........guns and tatoo's are addicting....and doritos.
