Buy insurance.
That was a useful reply. Without bolting it down, it's not a safe, it's big, heavy suitcase. :-)
There is always under your mattress for your pistols. An AR broke down between up & lower can easily be hidden in a closet bu having it off a heavy wooden hanger & a coat put over it. Most .22 are easily replaced make that the bait gun they would steal if your burglarized. Don't be seen coming & going with guns is important. A dog is a great deterrent too.
FIFYI've got insurance. Thanks
That didn't actually answer anything regarding securing a weapon. No thank you.FIFY
Welcome to the Forum!
Can you leave the guns at home until you need them?
I'll poke around, thanks.Perhaps in the short run, you could check Craigslist, Ebay, Gunbroker or even an estate sale to find a suitable safe. Even a container that camouflages what is inside may be better than nothing on a temporary basis. There are a couple of concealment tables on Amazon that aren't too pricey. Definitely not the perfect solution, but it might help.
I thought about that. But the thing about guns. Parachutes, huh?
IMO being being in an apartment puts you at greater risk of theft. More people to obverse you transporting your guns from moving or target shooting.
It’s life dude. Get insurance, buy a cheap safe, call it a night.
Always assume you’re being watched. Maybe you should buy none gun case, cases of some kind, so when you do go to and from your rig you aren’t saying hey criminals I have guns.
Also, don’t tell property management it’s a gun safe. Call it a floor safe. It’s where you keep your valuables that your father, who passed away and it’s the only thing you can remember him by; give them that story. If they want to install it, buy a dummy safe that backs up your story, later on, cover up the logos on the box so people can’t see it says gun safe, like a cheap 99 dollar one, and as you move it to your apartment, talk about how excited you are to get your new entertainment center. Similar box size.
Install big safe to hole patterns put in by management.
Keep you pistol where you sit & between the mattress & box springs when you sleep. When I went thru basic training we slept with our rifle while on bivouac. I did it until the wife moved in.My .22 is the takedown, so I imagine I can squirrel that away. But what about ready access of a firearm for home defense? I guess I'm really rethinking trying to get a small safe.
Cost parameters for a safe that can fit double that?

I removed my comment cause I didn’t want you getting caught or kicked out. But to answer your question if you had them ok a floor safe install, a guy could swap out said safes and it be bolted in like you wanted. Leave after your lease is up and it’s just as they installed it when the safe is gone.I follow you mostly. What's a hole pattern?

Oh. What about just a really heavy regular safe? My dad's safe's aren't bolted, I think...
