I recently purchased a "small" gun safe...on that can fit in a closet and holds 10 long guns with one shelf. Got a steal of a deal from Wal-Mart for $250 on a Sentry safe.
Anyway, a friend of mine related a story that happened to his father 2 years ago...that is, some thugs broke into their house one day. When they came home, all of the rifles had been taken out from under the bed and neatly lined up on top of the bed. Some rifles were VERY expensive ones. However, none were stolen. The cops said that burglars typically only steal handguns because they are easy to conceal, easier to carry more, can be used by the perp, and can be sold quickly for good money. Rifles are rarely stolen because of their size, resaleability, etc.
SO, I have *a number* of pistols that will not all fit on just one or two shelves of this small safe. You think I should just shelf this safe out and use it to store pistols? What about putting my rifles in a locking display case with a cable wire around it?
I am not going to buy another safe any time soon, so what are your suggestions?
