We're in the new house/trailer and I bought a 10   (friendly)  rifle gun safe from Walmart for $116 delivered to my door. It screws to the wall and/or the floor, won't keep a determined thief out, but WILL keep kids out and keep honest people honest.This is a BARGAIN at the price.joe b.

kenThis gun safe was made by Stack-On, in Illinois-and Illinois was not in China last time I looked.

No but it has Chicago and that's almost as bad.

That is a bargain. More people are locking up their guns these days. Less accidents are happening. Made in America is good. My motto now is “anywhere but China". Spread the word. I'd rather have a product made in SF or NY than China!

Enough gun safe space costs far more than the guns to fill it does, so I only have a Walmart “Stack On” to add some protection for the 10 rifles that I really would lose sleep over if they were stolen. But - what's with the China-Bashing.? As long as they continue to lend the money to keep the USA afloat, I don't mind buying their manufactured goods at all. (Gosh! It's the patriotic thing to do) - and Chinese quality has improved so much over the decades. I just wish they would make another run of those wonderful threaded-barrel Norinco SKS. Mine has had so many thousands of CB's thru it, I would like to have a back-up on hand. (20-20 hindsight - I wish I had bought 2 of them when they were only $89.95 new in box.)

When I was a kid my Dad fixed up a wallboard in the basement with hinges, magnetic cabinet latches and an unobtrusive place to grip the wallboard in order to open it. Behind this was a small closet-like area where we stored our weapons. They were readily accessible, yet out of sight. You could find it, but you'd have to be consciously searching for a hidden door or you'd just look past it.

It wasn't secure from children, but I was trained from infancy to respect the weapons and I would have got in a tremendous amount of trouble if I'd ever shown our “gun room” to anyone, or taken a weapon I didn't personally own out of the room. -Also if I did take one of my own out it better be for a good reason and not to just show it off.

I currently have a thin metal gun safe (bolted to a wall) and I don't feel as secure with it as I would be if I built something like my Dad did. (Of course I'm more worried about being robbed than securing it from little fingers).

When it comes to gun safety I don't care where your safe/box was made. Locked up is good. No brainer. A cop in Philly was wounded/shot by a wacko terrorist type using a stolen handgun just today. Most burglaries are committed by teenagers during the day. They are looking to get in and out quick. Any locker will help a lot.

Here's a picture of a Homak steel gun cabinet, from FleetFarm, I had up at the lake.  Someone broke into our place in 2004.  They got the cabinet out of the closet, laid it on the floor and used some tools while attempting to break in to it.  You can see how far they got.  Thankfully there were no firearms in it.

For under a $100 including tax on sale, it was a bargain.

I could have fixed it with a new lock, but the high security locks with the round keys were no longer available.  If I put a new lock (aprox. $20.00) on, it MIGHT have required a new “lever” (another aprox. $20.00) on the back side of the lock that pivots and holds the door closed.  But then I would have had two keys for one cabinet.  A second lock and lever would add another $40.00.  That brought the total up to $80.00.  I forget if that included shipping or not.

I went back to FleetFarm and got another cabinet (happened to be a Stack-On) still for under $100.00 with tax on sale.  The Stack-On has only one lock, with one lever securing the middle of the side and two long levers from the lock to the top and bottom of the door.  Quality is about the same as the Homak.  The Stack-On is more convenient with only one lock, and might be a little more secure with three levers, but the Homak definitely did the job.

I would not feel bad with either one of them if for some reason I couldn't afford a bigger, heavier arms cabinet or one wouldn't fit where I wanted to put it.
