I've got a few questions regarding gun storage. Currently, all of my guns, knives, hunting gear is stored in the closet of my man room/cave. I recently found out I will be having a daughter(thanks for your prayers), and the man room will soon become a nursery. I don't have another room in the house to store my small arsenal (10 long guns and a few pistols). My garage has an add-on, and I wanted to put a safe in there. Is there a gunsafe that the OB would recommend to store 10-20 long guns under $750? Does anyone store their weapons outside of the home?

I have a cannon 24 gun that I bought from academy 10 years ago on sale for $600. Not sure what they go for now. but you might be hard pressed to find a decent one under $1k.

If storing in non climate controlled I would definitely purchase a de-humidifying rod as your gonna have moisture problems for sure!

All depends on what your goals for the safe or?

to keep a safe house that keeps kids and guns away from each other? then yes $750 would be plenty

wanting to keep guns away from a robber? well no safe can be 100% guaranteed but I feel anything that cost $750 would only keep out the simplest of burglars

Protect from fire? again depends on severity but a $750 safe will only provide minimum protection

I've started recently looking at safes as well. Tractor and Supply has the Cannon's and Winchesters for a little under 700 bucks. I have done some reading on them and the reviews have been mixed, more on the downside than upside so far. But it's early in my research too. I believe both are made out of the U.S.

I'm more than likely going to save a little bit more and get a Liberty. They have a 22 gun safe, built in the U.S. starting at $999.
