Gun safe questions
FarmerRick:
Decide on the largest gun safe you can afford.
Then save up the money to get one at least half-again as big. ;D
11gauge minimum, outside hinges, S&G lock, bolt it down.
If the specs don't list the metal thickness, it's probably pretty thin.

No I have not. I keep going back and forth on the issues I am facing. I want a larger safe as everyone is suggesting. However, I am limited by my basement stairs in both load bearing capacity and dimensions. I have briefly considered having it upstairs or in the garage, but that will defeat several of the purposes. The assembled safes would be great, but they are quite expensive.
I have a temporary part time job providing contract services, so maybe I can spend the money soon.

OnTheFly:
Does anyone have an opinion on putting the safe in an upstairs room? To get the size I want, I will likely have to put it in my bedroom closet due to the basement restrictions. I would have to bolt it down through the wood floors (sub-floor and finished wood). Is this a bad idea or are there extra precautions to take when bolting it down?
Thanks,
Fly
