muledeer,

I completely agree that no matter how big a safe one buys, one will eventually need a bigger one. When I bought the one at my parents' place, I initially thought it would be big enough forever. Then I bought somewhere close to 10 guns over those 7 years and it is looking pretty crowded in there. This new safe at my place will relieve some of the crowding in my parents' safe.

gumpokc,

That isn't a bad idea and I have already received the okay for such a thing when the wife and I build our own house in the future. In fact, the agreement is that we will have a 3 car garage on the house and a 2 story, 3 car garage, that is separate from the house. The second story of the detached garage will be my gun/reloading room and it will have no windows, a vault door to it, and it will be rebar reinforced concrete on all 6 sides (i.e., 4 sides, top, and bottom). I should be able to keep plenty of guns in that room. However, that probably will not take place for another 5 or 6 years, so in the meantime I am going to have to make do with a safe.

Now, I just need to figure out where I am going to buy the safe.
