Keep it civil.

I wanted a long gun locker. Why is it that I can only find 2 categories in the market:

  • flimsy cabinets that you could open without tools;
  • mega safes that will stand as a testament to humanity in 1000 years.

Where's my middle option?

If you aren't renting and can modify the place you occupy, you can find some safes made to be built into a floor or wall. These tend to be built better than the "locking cabinet" style of safe and also have an obscurity element.

My main problem with most of the safes on the market is they all seem to have switched to keypad entry with a keyed backup. Why not the old fashioned combo dial? Bring back that style of safe - no batteries to worry about dying.

I went with a Zanotti Armor safe for the takedown ability but also liked that they had the mechanical combo dial.

I just want a theft "proof" cabinet, really.
