Who has access to your gun safe?

[Davegrave]

Wow that sucks.

That shouldn't keep you from trusting other people.
I think if you trust someone enough to make her your wife you should trust her with that too.

Stealing from my safe was the least bad thing she did to me. All of which I found out as I tried to figure out how to take care of my 1 year old son alone and keep my job while she sat in jail for two weeks for check fraud.

I could type pages and pages. I'm a very trusting person by nature, but she broke it in a big big way. Without the kind of counseling I could never be able to afford....that kind of trust is just gone from me forever.

Well sorry to hear that, I understand.

My son is a little over a year old so it's going to be awhile until anyone but my wife and I have a key.

My wife has access but I doubt she remembers the combo to the big safe. She does have the key to the small safe in the bedroom.

Only my wife, and I doubt she remembers the combo, and, she's never tried to open it as far as I know. If I can't trust her with the combo, I shouldn't have married her.

 

[mmorph55]

Only me and my 17 year old son.

My gun safe is the same safe everything else is in. I've told my wife the combination a number of times. Next time I need her to get in it I'll have to tell her how again. She never even remembers which direction to turn the knob first.

This matches our situation to a tee. Our eldest son also has the combo as he is our Executor.

Myself, My Brother, My Father, and One best friend know where the spare key is, and they are the few that I would also loan anything I have to, no questions asked.
And they would and have done the same for me.

Me, my brothers, and who doesn't love bacon.

Bacon!!!!

I LOVE this slab of pork!

Yeeeaaah...the other White meat

 

[Thumper]

Nobody but me needs the combo.

 

[swmp9jrm]

My wife's jewelry is in the safe, so she insisted on knowing the combination! And my grown daughter knows where the combination is stored.

 

[PlasticPistol17]

I keep the combo in my bacon

I keep the combo in my bacon

Not sure what to think about your first post but welcome to INGO anyway.

I don't own a safe. I believe safes are useful only if they are either too large to be removed easily, or bolted to the floor. My budget forbids the former and my apartment lease forbids the latter. I do have a gun lock, which I will use when I have to secure my weapon in my absence. I will also hide my locked firearm in one of several locations. It's not the best solution, but it's the solution that works best for me.

This post makes me wonder if I could remember what to do with this any better than my wife could remember what to do with the combinations to the safes.

These ex-spouse stories are scary too.

... I need a better plan!

Bacon!!!!

 

[Sylvain]

No one!

Not even yourself?

That sucks.

This is not actually a bad thing. As Sylvain pointed out, she gets to feel trusted. I get to be the only one who can get to the guns. She's ok with it, I'm ok with it.

 

[Grizhicks]

My wife & I, plus our youngest daughter (30 y/o) knows where to find the combo (if she remembers)..... Grizhicks

 

[Kitty]

We don't have a safe, two lock boxes. One is his and one is mine. We each have a key to both that we have on us.

 

[indytechnerd]

There is a second set of keys that my wife has access to. The 1st set is on my truck keys, so when I'm not home it's locked up and inaccessible to little hands.
