Need a gun safe (Houston)

Should I purchase from a place like tractor supply/cabelas or go to a local reputable dealer to purchase? If so any recommendations of a place in Houston?

Whatever you decide on, go bigger than you think you need.

Just a recommendation, but if you haven’t already decided on type of locking mechanism you may want to do that. I have a battery-powered electronic combination lock safe and a manual combination. I prefer the manual, as you don’t have any battery maintenance, etc. Both are fine, just something to consider.

I bought mine at tractor supply, they had a good sale on Cannon

Many of what are called “gun safes” do not meet the criteria to be classified as a actually safe.

The vast majority are just residential security cabinets...

Most brands are crap, my current one is crap but it does what I need it to do, I have a Liberty. Safes the size I was looking for cost several thousands of dollars and I just needed something to keep kids out of and to deter opportunistic thievery. Even if you had a good safe pros will get into it. I like Amsec but there are others out there. Just get the Biggest costco safe available if you cheap out, that is what I did. It always varies.
