Multi-Purpose Safe

The ultimate protection for weapons at home would be a built-in Gun Vault. This might be a justifiable option if your collection’s diversity, weapon size, and or the quantity of weapons so dictated. But, for the average “Joe” with a couple rifles, shotguns or pistols, they’d probably be better suited with one of the many other safes on the market today. Generally speaking, there are two types: Large and Small.

The Large gun safes are used for long barreled firearms and usually designed to stand vertically. They have racks on the inside to hold the guns side-by-side without leaning on each other; additionally, some have shelves for ammo and smaller handguns.

The Small  gun safes are used for handguns, revolvers, and/or automatics. However, to be burglar proof, they must be secured to the floor, wall or something permanent. Regardless of the safe’s size, if properly installed, it should provide protection from theft, unauthorized entry, and some fires (depending on time length of burn and sustained maximum heat). BE SAFE!
