Thanks to everyone for the very well thought out and helpful advice. It gave me a lot to think about, will consider carefully before buying. So far, am thinking a heavier and better quality safe than what I first had in mind. But not larger, as I am resolved not to buy another gun, without trading or selling one. That resolve may be an example of "Ruthless intentions of future discipline", but I still intend to try. Actually, I'm trying now, yesterday I took in a Remington SP10 to the local gun shop, the owner is going to get back with me on how we could trade on a gun safe. Will hate to see my 10 ga. go, although neither my son nor I have shot it in over 12 years.
