| Tossing up the idea of building a secured gun room instead of purchasing a new safe to accommodate all my guns. Am I crazy? |
| I built a room in my basement as a office and in it I built a very secure closet to store preps/guns. I still put a safe in it because I want to make sure my little boy and his friends never get into them. The room is about 8ft x 19ft. I framed up a wall, put double 2x6's around a door frame and put in a nice steel door with very heavy deadbolts/recievers. I then used 1/2 inch plywood on both sides of the framing. On the inside I built shelves out of 2x4's and screwed them into the studs and through the plywood. Im sure you could still get in but it would take some time. I also put in a old tv and an antenna so I can use it as a tornado shelter and still be able to watch the weather reports. It was a great investment. Its like my own private preparedness sanctuary. |
