Hello all... im in the market for a relatively inexpensive gun safe. I've looked around the internet and have found that a gun safe can be very expensive ($500 up) and exceed my needs. I only have couple rifles and handguns. Any suggestions? Thanks...

Absolut, how much does that Brinks weigh? I need one I can tote up some stairs.

Yeah, that's what I'd be looking at. 3rd floor apartment. A friend and I could probably handle it with a handtruck. I don't want to get a big one until I actually settle into a house. I'll have to check the Kmart here. Thanks for the info.

How many guns does that hold? I need room for 6 long guns and 4 handguns.

i think its advertised as 14 long guns, but even if they were all 10/22's it would be a tight fit, realistically prob. 9 or 10

That brinks sounds decent idea for me. It wouldnt hold everything but would hold some of the more important stuff.

For a real cheepie idea, get an old apartment size fridge, bolt a heavy latch to it, place PAINT STORAGE on the outside and throw a desicant package inside. Bolt it to the garage wall if you want. Who will waste time breaking into a paint locker? Dosent look so great but the price is right.

or get a real fridge and put firearms in there, now all of your guns will be cool in a literal sense.
