Quoted: I use those push lights or tap lights whatever they are called. I think their made by Garrity, their like 3 bucks at wally world. Get a big one now. I bought a 14 gun safe thinking it would be enough. Unfortunatley, Ar's while ergonomic for humans don't fit in safes very well.

What are those lights? Battery-powered?
I know what you mean about the AR's not fitting right. All I have is a cheap Stack-On safe for now, but I made a small step out of wood for inside the back so the short weapons would reach the barrel racks.

Yeah they are battery powered lights. They are dome shaped, you push the dome and it turns on the bulb. My safe has a shelf that is height adjustable and I just used picture hangers on the rack to hang the light. One on each side of the safe lights it up nicely. It was easier than wiring lights/switches etc in my opinion.
One more tip, if you have several handguns and the safe has a wooden shelf. You can get a 1x4 or 2x4, cut U shapes across the top and screw it to the shelf. Makes a nice handgun rack, the barrel, slide or frame just rest in the U and sit up right on the butt. Saves a lot of space too, I can fit all 8 or 9 handguns and the magazines on the shelf this way.
My 20 inchers were the only ones that give me trouble, I just got a 2x4 chiseled a notch into for the butt and screwed it to the floor. Elevated the rifle enough to get the handguards in the plastic slot.
