Improvised and Diversified Firearm Storage Ideas.

Hypothetically let's say a person acquired so many firearms that he couldn't fit them all in the safe. What are some cheap lockable solutions and location ideas he could utilize to keep honest people honest and minimize corrosion on firearms. Hypothetically this person might live in small space with little room to spare.

What is a simple method to make this style of ammo box lockable with padlock?




Edit: Nevermind, I just need some different padlocks to do it this way:

 

[Nosferatu]

vaccuum seal and bury in a flower pot on the front porch.

 

[oremike]

You could just stack'em deep in a closet and put a hasp and pad lock on the door.

 

[Certaindeaf]

Install a keyed lock on a broom closet door.

 

[trekkerpaul]

Hypothetically you could cut a hole in the ceiling and hide them below the upstairs neighbors floors.

 

[arakboss]

Install a keyed lock on a broom closet door.

That would be ideal if the person had an extra closet available. if they don't, it will be necessary to use nooks and crannies of the space.

Install a keyed lock on a broom closet door.

But…. that's where Auntie Gertrude sleeps!

A second safe

Hypothetically ....

This person should take stock of what they have and :
See if they really have a use for it and / or are using it.
If they ain't using it and ain't likely to use it....then sell it off or trade it for something they actually will use.

I would suggest that this person take a look at real practical solutions...rather than make-shift , improvised solutions.
And remember that something is only a good deal if.....you actually have a use for it.
Its fun to own stuff....Just don't let your stuff own you.

To your last sentence, that particular ship for this particular individual has already sailed and left the harbor looong ago.

For me, though, sometimes I think about what you say here and contemplate it as advice for myself even when it's directed elsewhere. So thanks for that.

Safes suck for quantity storage. I'd pull out the cheap and easily replaceable guns and put them in a container that looks like it doesn't hold guns. Use the safe volume for the things that you could not replace if needed to.

You are very welcome...and thank you for your kind words.
As for my advice ....it comes from my experiences....and while no one needs to do as I do...
If my advice / experiences help others as well...then that is a good thing to.

One traffic barrel will hold 2,000 .25acp Ravens.

Store them in other people's safes. It's easy.

1. Place item for sale
2. Sell to buyer
3. Buyer takes home and stores securely (or not)
4. No longer your problem

See -- I've saved you money !

Quit buying guns and save up to move out of your apartment.

 

[arakboss]

This would take care of six serialized items for the cost of a padlock or use the cable lock that came with pistol and it's free.

I imagine a nice safe would be cheaper.

Not in the long run.
