SnapSafe

As I write this, Tom from SnapSafes is in our showroom, putting our reps to work assembling one of their modular safes.

What makes SnapSafes so cool is that from the time it arrives in a shipping box, a single human can move it with a hand truck, unpack it, then start assembly.

SnapSafes are lined with ceramic fiber blankets for a 2300F one hour rating, though Tom says it’s good for 2½ hours. The consensus is that these blankets provide superior protection to a …. → Continue reading here: SnapSafe

Long Live the King!

Last Thursday was a special day at the GunSafes offices. On that day, we said goodbye to a dear friend.

The Pendleton King was a tall drink of water, a six-foot high 40-gunner with a substantial girth.

The thing most people asked when they saw him was “Is that a tanning booth?” Tanning booth, no, but a sweet round gun safe, with a revolving rack inside, plus interior light, yes.

The Pendleton was the kind of safe you would own if you were an international …. → Continue reading here: Long Live the King!

Wall Safes For The Home

Concealment.  Secrecy.  Deception.  That’s the name of the game when it comes to wall vaults.  When having the security of your valuables exposed for all to recognize just doesn’t make sense, and disguising your wall safe as part of your general décor does, then I’ve found that Gunsafes.com offers a number of options to consider. As I was perusing the selection, I was pleased to discover that the myriad of features accorded to wall safes rivals that …. → Continue reading here: Wall Safes For The Home

Biometric Safes

In the world of guns and gun safes, few topics are as divisive as biometric safes.

Those who love them, really love them, and those who don’t, well, they just really don’t.

The benefits of a fingerprint recognition safe are, of course, that it is nearly impossible for an unauthorized person to gain access. Each safe is coded to accept only the prints you wish it to recognize. This also means you can have remarkably quick access to your safe–a big plus if you’re using …. → Continue reading here: Biometric Safes

When Security Matters

Here at GunSafes, we don’t really endorse one brand of safe over another. There are so many models and styles of gun safe, in so many price points, that what works for you might not work for someone else.

We can say, though, that most of the time, you get what you pay for. Just look at this post from a public firearms forum:

“I live in a rural area where there are no neighbors to hear an alarm. Last year on May 19 my …. → Continue reading here: When Security Matters

Browning–Better by Design

Safe Rooms

When I say “safe room,” one of two things probably comes to mind—a place to hide from home invasion, or a place to store a lot of guns.

Actually, you can have either or both with a little clever architecture. If you want a truly secure panic room, you will need to have reinforced walls, floor, and ceiling, and methods that go beyond the scope of this post. However, if all you need is a secure place to regroup and call for help, or store …. → Continue reading here: Safe Rooms

Fire Safes

Among the top reasons for purchasing a gun safe for your home are security against theft and safety for children. Also in the top position is protection against fire.

Fire resistance is one of the most important factors to potential gun safe purchasers.

In addition to choosing a safe that will hold the proper number and type of firearms, you also need to think about what other items you might store. Plastic media such as CDs and film negatives are damaged at temperatures as low …. → Continue reading here: Fire Safes

Bullet Tax

This week’s “Seriously?” news comes from Baltimore, where mayorial candidate Otis Rolley says he would institute a $1-per-bullet tax, with the hope the tax would cut down on the amount of ammunition people buy.

“This is not a revenue-enhancement tool,” Rolley said. “It’s a make-it-difficult-for-you-to-buy-bullets tool.”

Rolley believes that the tax would generate awareness and decrease random shootings.

One has to wonder if he took seriously Chris Rock’s standup routine of some years back, where Rock stated that gun control wasn’t necessary, all we had …. → Continue reading here: Bullet Tax

Super Secret Safes

If you’ve seen even a handful of mystery movies,  no doubt you have witnessed the scene: someone carefully moves the oil painting aside,  revealing a safe,  then procedes to open it,  placing the very important item inside,  securing it,  then taking a quick look around to make sure no one was looking.

In the movies,  someone always knows the combination,  or finds a way to thwart the plan,  usually with the old switcheroo.

In real life,  wall safes are a great option,  and not just …. → Continue reading here: Super Secret Safes
