Hi all
I have a gun safe that is not fireproof - heavy duty stack on and I really like it. Cost was $300 several years ago and it works great but I am running out of room. My primary reason for a safe is to keep my young'ns away from the weapons. I see all these monster and expensive fireproof safes out there and I have thus far talked myself out of buyin' one for the following reasons:
1. PRICE
2. If my house burns down and the safe makes it great, but then my guns were just cooked at who knows what internal temp, albeit not burned. What about the damage to the wood and/or warping of metal parts - would I still want to shoot them?
3. I have a rider policy on my home insurance that covers replacement cost of my guns if they do burn up or get stolen.
So given these reasons I am hesitant to buy a fireproof safe for over a grand when I can get another heavy duty non-fireproof 19 gun safe at Dicks for $400
Thoughts?
