We are, of course, no less proud to be hunters and gun owners than we ever have been. Nevertheless, the time for displaying our firearms on a wall rack or in glass-fronted cabinets may be as long gone as the days of leaving our front doors unlocked or our keys in the ignition. The best place for your guns is in a vault or a locking security cabinet, where they are safely out of reach of small hands and out of sight of prying eyes. Technically, safes and vaults are the same.
Security cabinets make up a separate category.
A gun vault raises your level of security against theft and fire significantly, albeit at the cost of many more dollars and several hundred added pounds of steel. Security Cabinets Think of a security cabinet as a locking tool chest, which is basically what it is. They do, however, have a deterrent effect on housebreakers. Most burglaries are poorly planned. Ninety percent of thieves dash in and out of a house in a few minutes looking for something easy to grab.
