Your goals

Let’s start at the beginning. What is your goal for having guns? Do you have them for protection? Or, did you purchase or collect them as an investment? Maybe you are doing both and just like guns. There’s no problem with any of these options but your choice in gun safes can depend on what your goals and objectives are. Some gun safes or cabinets are designed to showcase your collection. Others are built more for securing them against intruders, or to keep them out of the hands of curious neighbors or children. If you have your guns for protection purposes, you’ll want fast access to them if and when you actually need them. The materials, design and the locks that secure your gun safe can all depend on what your purpose for them is.

A loaded gun should not be lying around!

All too often we hear about accidental shootings, and sometimes deliberate ones, where easy and fast access to a loaded gun was a factor. The scene could be a home invasion or a domestic violence incident. A curious child could playfully fool around with the gun, not knowing or even dreaming that it could be real and/or loaded. One drink too much might make a person overly aggressive, depressed or revenge bound. Then there’s the mentally ill that go unreported or unnoticed. The last thing they need is to have ready and easy access to a loaded firearm and ammunition.

You won’t be a target

One of the most common questions we get is “will having a gun safe make me a target?” and the answer we give is “not really.” Of course a lot depends on how discreet you are. Do you brag to others that your home is an arsenal and that you are not to be messed with? Or, do you discreetly use your gun safe to store and secure your weapons in case of need or for professional
display? A lot depends on you but overall, having a gun safe in your property will not make you any kind of target.
