If your neighbors (or you) have a Gun Safe, Where is ?

[TXAZ]

We are moving, currently the 48” wide x 28” deep gun safe is in our bedroom closet.
The new house makes that same location very difficult to get it into.

So without asking where you where youvhave your gun safe, where is your neighbor’s gun safe located in their home?
Feel free to PM me if you like.

Thanks in advance.

I have no idea where my neighbor's gun safe would be located or if she has one. While she is a gun owner I'd guess she has no more than one or two guns.

SIL keeps his in the main family room in the basement / lower-level (he has walkout basement)

His thoughts:

No need to hide it in a closet or store room

If evil doers break in while they are gone... it won't matter where the safe is

I’ll just say that safes not quite as large as yours are very awkward to move through a house and weight over 600lbs empty.

Thinking of the way the Egyptians moved large pyramid stones, lots of golf balls are very helpful. And remove the door, if you can.

I wonder where Kamala keeps her gun?

My thoughts are the outside wall corners of spare bedroom or office.
Less heat in the event of a fire.

Proper big gun safes require significant moving expertise. If you cannot get it where you want, maybe expert skills come in to play. The Ft. Knox we use has been within my capacity for ages with refrigerator dolly and three physical adults. But we have always picked placement absent elevation changes of note. The next move for it should be by my son into his gun room.



I am thinking about more smaller safes as an option going forward. Irreplaceable firearms need to be in a fire safe on the least fire risk outside wall. The rest I am leaning toward much lighter and easier to move safety style cabinets. Insurance is cheaper than perfect safety.

I keep most of my safes in the garage. But all the good stuff is kept in a 3600lb vault bolted to the floor. Keeping it upright and not able to tip on the side is way more important than location.

Wooden rods, ~2" diameter. Works great for getting heavy things into and out of tight spaces.

We really can't help much. You know the design of the new house and the intended use for the rooms. Some people keep them in the garage area and use a dehumidifier inside (can't remember any of the brand names right now).

A good, oak four wheel dolly will allow you to move it just fine - provided no steps. As said above, rollers if you have to move it into a tight space.

My safe has spent it's last 25 years in garages. It's bolted down, it's not fire rated, all the tools to cut it open are very handy, I use a dehumidifier and two bowls of dry rice and have never had any rusted firearms. I never worry about it cuz life goes on.

All my guns are in the lake.

We did same to move a 6 person hot tub to a new location; works like a charm.

sorry sir you are going to have to come find them before you attempt entry into them

NOT TODAY MR GUN THIEF

Nice try with the phishing post I see you got some good hookups

Until the weight sinks one end of the house.

Build it into the pantry. Criminals rarely rummage thru kitchens…master bedroom is the first place they’ll look.

My next door neighbors moved from CA about 5 years ago. Their house had a secret armory room with massive safe door when they bought it, right next to Master bedroom. I was really envious but not for too long. Because these typical Californian transplants being retired liberal teachers, didn't find a good use for the armory and turned it in to an extra walk-in closet, tossing the safe door.

I've seen them in closets to living rooms to garages. Just have one and fill it up!
