And do yourself a favor and purchase one that's 50% larger than you feel you need right now. You'll start stuffing important documents, collectibles, etc., into there and before you know it you'll be saying "damn, I wish I bought a bigger safe!"

Yeah, and keep the wife out or you will need to get one 200% larger than you think you need. She will find all kinds of family treasures to stuff in there. Save youself the grief and get one for her.

Don't give her your combo!!!!!:D

Home Depot sells a decent one for around your price. Not fireproof, and would yield with a determined attack, but 100X better than guns sitting in a closet.

Bought two so far for the kids' guns.

Are you refering to a gun cabinet, or a gun safe?

Costco has a rather nice Winchester model for 499. Electric combo, firesafe for 45min @ 1400^F, 24 gun capacity.

Also the safe storage laws don't require doj cert. The doj cert is only required to sell as a gun safe.
