    Since you are planning to put it on an elevated floor, I suggest going with something lighter rather a heavy, traditional safe. You don't want it crashing through the floor.

    It sound to me like a Stack-On would serve your current needs well. For some added security, you can bolt it to the floor and/or wall.

    O read or heard somewhere, the garage is where most fires start....

    Buy a fire proof aka resistant safe.

    Most fires start either in the kitchen or laundry room, sleeping with your bedroom door closed and shut decreases your chance of dying in a fire as well as the chance of being murdered.

    If your house catches on fire and a room is on fire the easiest way to save your house is closing all doors and windows so when the FD arrives it will typically be confined to a small area.

    So based on this.

    Might as well use wooden crate with a padlock on it to store said weapons.

    You could, minimal difference between that and an 18 gauge steel box.

    Wooden crate with an antique padlock would make a pretty cool way to secure firearms.

    Good call. I will just throw all my weapons in a crate and call it a day.

    Again. I am looking for a cabinet to store guns, not a heavy safe. I am not worried about theft or fire. Just a way to store guns neatly and secure from mainly a 2 year old kid. Tired of storing weapons on the top shelf of the closet or locked up in individual cases.

    The stack-ons are fine for that, I’m not aware of another similar mainstream brand that has similar products.

    In 3 years your kid is going to go digging through everything, find the key for the cabinet, and holding a gun.

    If you're 100% ok with that, get a cabinet. If not, get a safe.

    have a smaller safe for important documents and a 24 gun stack on safe i got at BJs Wholesale Club. Was in sale, think it was $550 out the door. works great in my garage. I recommend rechargeable dehumidifiers for inside the safe.

    PPQ- grip feels better, which is relative so might not be any help.

    I’ve been wanting a Ak recently but have no idea what brands I should be looking for. All I’m looking for is a milled receiver and wood stocks. Any one got some brands or models I should be looking for?
