Sometimes a Safe is just TOO secure...

[Old Ironsights]

'cause every lowlife scumbag can see it and sus out what's inside.

Not mine though. Might not be as "secure" as a safe, but it's fireproof and "invisible"...

Pretty Kitty, hiding popsicles & steaks....

Not quite.

Then there is the problem of where to put a work/reloading bench... especially one that you can properly walk around.

No problem. Just raid an old Hospital.

2 presses and a bench vice that can go anywhere I need them to be.

Simple & cheap stuff, inspired by Junior... :drinks:

Never thought of useing my old fridge for a gun safe.... but have been useing mine complete with shelves/racks/locking door for storing ammo/powder for many years.

....Good idea guys!!

Great idea 8-) 8-)

And to think I have a lock on the gardge fridge to keep the Adult beverages safe :drinks: :drinks:

I could get a free fridge with metal shelves and store ammo if nothing else

Butttttttttt when they broke into my gardge a few years back
They stole some tools and 50 lb of choice steaks

Use a Freezer, not a Fridge. Freezers have locks. Sure, they are easy enough to defeat, but (A) it keeps the kids out and (B) again, nothing screams "Steal what's inside" like a bolted on Hasp lock, so it gets avoided.

Another solution is to do this:

Would YOU open somthing that says "Stinky - Decontaminate/Donate"? :twisted:

Oh the joys of living in the "Land of the Free":drinks:

We have to build concrete bunkers to house our guns, 8" core filled concrete, 1/2 steel bars every hole, 1/4" plate steel door, 5" reinforced concrete floor and roof THEN dynabolt an approved gunsafe to the inside walls and floor, provide 3 deadbolts to the door!:???:

We call this living in the "Land where you are free to do as the gummint tells You" and where burgulars where capes and fly throught the air:roll: :roll:

I would think that a cement slab (walls included) with chain link fence in it would get the job done.

BAW,a collector buddy of mine built basicly the same thing inside his pole barn.He found a walk through bank type vault door that he installed.Even if you drive into the barn you cant see the vault.
I liked the vault door so much that another buddy in Ohio found me one from the county court house. 3/8 thick 36x72 door and frame.Had it for a some years,just another of my "roundtuits"
BTW Can you keep a gun in the house for protection in OZ?

BTW Can you keep a gun in the house for protection in OZ?
Definately not! Guns have to be locked up with bolts removed, ammunition in a seperate locked container. Penalty for "failure to secure" - max 7 years!
The most anoying thing is I live on a small farm, see a fox, unlock the safe and get a rifle, unlock another combination safe get the bolt, unlock another safe get ammunition, assemble and run around the back of house - fox is gone - no wonder they call them cunning[smilie=1: [smilie=1:

An old Pepsi machine is okay as well.

[Four Fingers of Death]

There are moves afoot to get us to have back to base alarms with sensors inside the safes.

[shooter575]

I figured as much guys,But at least you can have the toys by jumping through the hoops they place infront of ya.All the comonwealth guys have my respect for putting up with it.It would get real ugly here making the yanks on this board do the same dance!
I am sure glad we dumped the empire when we did.

A gunsmith just up the road from my house, Mike Bryant, also has a safe with a bank vault door in his country shop. It would take some doing to break in there. Dale
