Looking for a quality Gun Safe

[SloppyShooter]

It's 3 miles

Rent an appliance dolly and pull it home!!!

If you go to Jacksboro, I have a truck, they have a forklift...that gets it home a couple of muscle bound friends and a good appliance dolly does the rest.

I mean dang Sloppy that's awfully generous of you.. but Jacksboro is a 81 mile trip one way. I live south of Fort Worth, now if you actually live in White Settlement this Atwoods is closer than the one in Jacksboro.

JACKSBORO HWY!!! First exit off 820.

I can't afford a good gun safe... but I sure can afford a $3500 rifle
I got the cart before the horse when the gun addiction came knocking....

I don't think you're in a high crime area.

OHHH the ATwoods in north fort worth! yeah I know it.

Pawn it. It'll be safe and you can get it anytime (provided you have the cash.)

Unless the pawn shop gets robbed and the gun gets stolen.

 

[SloppyShooter]

That's why Rick Harrison has LifeLock. LOL.

No sir. 2 things... someone is always watching and whoever tries robbing out here, they will only be robbing their own life. all the kin folk in these parts have itchy index fingers

But then again shit happens.
Look how many houses that "never flooded before" got flooded.

Where? in Houston?

Not sure if joking, but yes.

 

[FireInTheWire]

Not sure if joking, but yes.

Been a lot of flooding going on everywhere for sure. A wise real estate investor once told me... Location, Location, Location ...

Life is about playing the odds. If I was a gambling man... I'd double down on not getting robbed. Are the odds still there? sure. Just not very good odds.

I'm not saying a safe isn't a wise purchase. It is on my to-do list to get one.

I thought this was food for thought. This was my bump in the road that derailed me on getting a safe.

It has that video, a written summary, and 104 mostly thoughtful comments on the subject. There might be some food for thought there, too.

I'll read up. Thank you sir

It may have already been asked, but is there anywhere in Houston that you can RENT gun-safe space?

 

[TexasEric]

I am still looking hard now. My price will probably be around $2600ish. That will get me the fire protection I want, looking 75-90 mins. Finding the actual plate steel safes at that price is almost not possible. Everything is 11 gauge metal.
I was speaking to a safe store owner this weekend. He said the price of steel has nearly doubled in the last few months. This is doing me no favors.

Any suggestions?

 

[TexasEric]

I am looking at Fort Knox Safes and AmSec safes.
Fort Knox has an AWESOME warranty, but Amsec is bit larger and thicker metal.

Any other suggestions?

Liberty is having a sale on the Franklin and Fatboy series. Might suffice until you can afford better.

Trade tariffs? Maybe hold out for a bit. Ya'll be kicking yourself when steel goes back down
