gun safe in garage?????

My safe is garaged

I run a golden rod and have a 2 foot flurescent bulb that is always on. I personally would stay away from anything that draws moisture, such as a dessicant as most gun safes do not seal up well. The goal is to keep the safe warmer than the outside of the safe then you wont be able to condense on the guns.

Many safe manufacturers have add-on humidity control devices beyond cans of material that do a much better job control cancer. Temperature change only affects the humidity of the weapons sweating, so I've always felt the control devices work better. Had a safe in a garage for years and never had a problem. I also spend $3 each for silicone gun socks that each gun fits in. Old wool socks work well for pistols. Just my 2 cents.

I've got mine next to the garage. What bothers me is the proximity to my chisels, drills, crow bars, saws-all, torches, two wheel carts, sledgehammers, etc, etc.

I prefer your's in the garage. It will be easier to back my truck in and load it.

In my old house the safe was in the kitchen, next to the attached garage. In the garage was a pair of bottles and a torch set. To avoid the obvious, I kept the adjusters for the regulators in the safe. You'll never get the torch lit without those.

I need a good safe for collection of 8 pistols and 15 plano brand plastic ammo boxes. Suggestions for best "bang for the buck" appreciated.

I'd prefer my safe to be in a climate controlled environment.
