Gun Safe Buyers Guide

Thanks, that's pretty comprehensive. That safe from Sam's Club (of all places) looks impressive "for what it is". My concern is not so much fire --- insurance would cover that, and my 8-gun collection is not all that expensive, my priciest gun is the Glock 19 that retails for about $600 new in latest generation --- as theft, especially when I'm away overnight (which isn't often) and just general security. The Winchester I looked at yesterday seems to be made especially for Tractor Supply. The hat trick would be getting it home, I don't think Tractor Supply delivers, highly doubt Sam's Club does either. I'd have to rent a U-Haul truck, or possibly one from Home Depot, just long enough to get the safe home --- thankfully, while my home is multi-level (FROG and basement-like garage), I would have a straight shot over level ground, from the patio entrance from the street, to the bedroom closet, only a dolly would be needed. While I'm at it, I might as well get my money's worth out of a day's truck rental, and also get one of those affordable gas grills that Lowe's and other places have on sale. It'd be a nice addition to the patio, and would enable cooking out without all the mess of charcoal and lighter fluid. Not crazy about the aftertaste of charcoal-grilled steaks and burgers anyway. A gun safe and a propane grill are two indispensable parts of the perfect "manhouse" (i.e., a "mancave" writ large).
