My New Safe

Yesterday my new gun safe was delivered.

I had to have this one delivered because it was huge. It weighed 700 lbs empty. It's fire rated and just plan big.

I am really pissed at the delivery company.

You would think that specializing in the delivering the damn things they would have realized that it would be important to their customers to be DISCREET!

These stupid people figured it would be a good idea to unbox it in by driveway by the sidewalk and leave it there, for a half an hour, as all the high school kids got off the damn bus.

It sat out there for over thirty minutes for my neighbors to drive by and have a good look.

I was still fuming when the shipping company called me to review my service.

Firearm Insurance

I receive emails and junk mail from the NRA every few months regarding additional insurance for my firearms.

I already have an additional rider policy for my guns.

My sister had a fire that ended up destroying her husbands guns. He lost a Marlin 30-30 and a Mossberg 500 12ga. They encouraged me to do an insurance audit.

I was very surprised to discover that firearms were covered specifically to only $2500. I needed way more than that. I called my insurance provider and got a rider. While talking with them on the phone they also encouraged me to take photos of each gun and record the serial numbers and store it all in a safe deposit box. All good advice.

--Don't forget to keep a list of ammo and accessories. It adds up!

Bartel Armory Gun Safe

I am always on the lookout for creative ways to secure and stash my firearms. I had the chance to look the Bartel Armory Gun Safe.

It's a huge heavy cylinder.

The door swings in and away. Plus the whole heavy damn thing turns.

In talking to the sales guy the best idea of all was to custom paint the whole thing like a hot water heater.

Great idea.

--I will not discuss the other ways that were suggested custom paint it!

Safes

I have been very pleased in recent years that the selection and availability of gun safe options. Large vault doors and safes to small safes that can easily hidden between the studs of your walls. Hidden safes under your bed or in furniture.

I saw a nice bedside table option:



This one is from StealthVault.com. With biometric technology getting better and better it makes it easier for you and tougher on burglars to find and open them. I understand that no solution is perfect. But they can keep your kids safe.

--Creative, secure but bring your wallet!!

Low on Space?

For many years, like many people, I lived in a rental. They were usually small. I was not allowed to modify them. My landlords and who knows how many others had keys.

Many people have a difficult time finding a place to secure their firearms collections. I am always on the look out for creative solutions.

One of the most interesting methods is the Bed Safe. This safe replaces the standard box spring on your queen size bed.

While it is not the fastest access to your firearms, it does represent a massive amount of secure space.

Once bolted together it would be damn difficult to be carried off by burglars, even if they did find it!
