Gun Safes
« on: August 04, 2011, 03:16:19 PM »
I'm presently in need of another safe.  Something of less capacity like 12 to 16 gun will do.  The problem is the smaller safes are all of lesser quality and that won't do.  I want something with some body to it and a high fire rating which means I'll likely have to get something bigger.  Right now Fort Knox seems to be the standard others hope to match and unless someone gives me reason to believe otherwise that is what I'll buy.  Is there anything else out their that's of equal or higher quality that I'm not aware of?  I don't just want the feeling of security.  I want the real thing.

ive done some research on this subject and everything ive found comes back to one thing.the good ones cost more money.also research how they are fireproofing it. most safes are fireproofed by a single layer of drywall.let us know what you get and also post sum pics if you can.

Try this company, Zannoti Armour.  I have one, and am very happy with it.  The name of the guy I dealt with is Mark.  Real friendly and helpful.

I can say that if I were buying another right now... I'd seriously consider one of these.

And I gave a 15 gun safe away a couple of months back.  Tried to sell it, but no one would give more than $50.00.  I paid $1700.00 for it a few years ago.  So I donated it to the local Catholic School for their annual auction.

Had one guy tell me I was just being too hard nosed on my price.  He had started out at $35.00, I slammed the door shut and said no way.  He did go up to $50.00 reluctiantly, but refused to go any higher.  He did say his girl friend had a bunch of jewelry and that is why he wanted it.  I said $500.00 was the lowest I would go, I had nsaid $700.00 in the add on the radio.  He laughed said that was too high.  Two weeks after I gave it away, I read in the paper about a house being broke into and over $20,000.00 worth of guns and jewelry stolen.  Guess who called and wanted to know if I still had the vault for sale.  He kept going on and on about how someone had cleaned him out, and stole all his girlfriends jewelry as well.  I called him a cheapskate, then told him to go to the auction and bid on it.

A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.
