Ok Question??? Yea me again!!

[bersaguy]

Ok I think I have reached a point that I need some help finding probably what I want that does not exist. I only have 1 long gun which is all I need since I no longer hunt but could haunt with this particular gun to survive. I do have a variety of hand guns and a rather comfortable amount of ammo. I have been looking at gun safes till I am cross eyed and have not found a safe suitable for my needs to time to ask. Does any company that any one knows of make an upright safe that has space for maybe a couple long guns but has a ton of shelves in it. I want a safe that I can put my hand guns in and my ammo assortment in and my long gun in. The two important items are (UPRIGHT and Shelves) if anyone can point me in a  direction to which I might look it would be greatly appreciated. Oh yea cost would also be an issue. Don't want to spend a fortune but willing to spend fair amount to get what I want..........Thanks for reading and replying if you think you have a place I can look......... :up:

My advice, call one of the safe selling vendors here on TGO, tell them your desires and budget and let the pros work for you.

I have heard from some people storing ammo in a safe might not be a great idea in the event of a fire.

Some believe if it gets hot enough to set off the ammo, well everything in there will be gone.  However I wonder if it gets that hot, wouldn't everything be damaged already?

Either way, I don't have my ammo in my safe.  Fixing a better ammo solution is on my list though.

Yep, I agree, no ammo in a safe, or paper.

The Safe House is my pick as well, give then a call.

See if they have one that has inside door storage for hand guns,

it is a part that hands on the inside face of the door.

Well, I had that same concern so I ask a buddy of mine that is a fireman what he thought I should do. He said as long as the safe can with stand heat to 1200 degrees for 20 minutes I should be fine unless I have any extremely flammable accelerates in the house that could catch fire and increase heat levels most houses that burn seldom get above 1200 degrees and by then most fire departments are on the scene and cooling the flames down with water so he said just check the heat levels on what ever safe you choose to purchase. Right now I have two safes full that I purchased at Lowes but they are just home safes and not Firearms safes but both of them are designed to withstand heat to 1600 degrees so that is 400 degrees hotter than he said but I want to be able to keep most of my firearms and ammo together except for what I carry or use for house protection. Right now I have guns (plural) guns in every room of my house. Would like it to be just gun (singular) in every room and the rest in a safe with the ammo...................Are there any Safe Guys here on the site. I know we have a few advertisers here for them but I mean just a guy I might converse with?     Just wondering............Thanks

Most of the better companies have interior packages that essentially let you design your own layout.  Many of the online sites for these manufacturers show pictures of the various ways that shelves can be arranged, and a visit to a safe store should generate even more options for you.
