What do you recommend for a very small, but very fire resistant safe? Does such a thing exist?

---

Sure, or you can be like me. Hedge your bet that the fire will happen while you're home and toss that fricker out the window before you check on your kids....and wife.

BOOM

Go to tractor supply and just pick out the one you like.

They are all about the same despite each brand having its fanboys.

I have a 64 gun Canon and a 48 gun whatever their store brand is and there aint much difference in them to be honest, I may like the cheap store brand better TBH.

Just be sure to buy one way bigger than you think you will need cause it will not be big enough.

Use a large 1928 safe at the office. 6 inch thick outer door, inside locking steel door plus locked safety deposit style boxes inside. Stuff inside is not worth 500 bucks lol.

I'll take that L. Was too focused on the "AR" ending correction. Karma is a swift bitch.

Yes it is.

However,

Keeping guns and ammo away from a child

indefinitely is probably an act of futility unless you are indefinitely vigilant, and no person is indefinitely vigilant.

Teach a kid what a gun is, and, most importantly, what it can do to, say, a watermelon (let alone his skull) and teach that kid that if he wants to fiddle with the gun then he can ask and you'll readily oblige: Then he can have tons-a-fun shooting it with his pop instead of wondering about its capability.

Curiosity killed the cat.

Furthermore, assuming that the situation arises (you know, Murphy's Law and all that inconvenient nonsense), then teach the kid that if he ever handles the gun without asking there will be hell to pay- specifically no more range time with the "super neat" gun. You know: instilling a sense of responsibility into a little future adult. (We're all wired with it.)

Aside from common sense, the facts show that the kid in question will be far less likely to tinker with the mechanized death object; which is something he should be aware of via dad's hands-on teaching, because that's what it will bring if not used correctly: death.

As a child, I knew these exact things.

It's one of the very few things that my father did correctly; one of the few things he instilled into me through direct action.

And on one sunny spring day, it saved my life, and on another it likely saved my life again.

To answer your OP: any safe that keeps important shite away from thieves, fire, and kids... indefinitely, is a good safe. I've heard lots of good things about liberty safes. Hell I know of one that survived a direct hit from an EF4 where all that was left was the slab and the safe.

That's a pretty safe "safe" if you ask me.
