Safe Storage Options While Home and Away

Reality is, each family’s solution to storing firearms for self-defense is different depending on their needs, gun type, the ages of any children, and the self-defender’s priority regarding speed of access vs. security.

Some families just need a bona-fide gun safe to keep guns from easily being stolen by thieves. Winchester offers a line of safes that are as good-looking as they are practical and impenetrable. Internally, these steel, fire-resistant safes feature innovative storage racks for many guns and valuables. Plus, they feature reinforced bolts, hinges and locks that would give any professional safecracker the hives. But it has a digital keypad that lets you get to the guns relatively quickly. The price of a safe like this is $800-$3,000.


Winchester Safe's Home 12 – its dead-locking bolts on the hinge side of the door cannot be compromised in a burglary attack. It offers a recessed door and reinforced steel return jams that thwart pry attacks. And the safe is predrilled for anchoring to the floor, thus preventing tipping for pry leverage or removal of safe by thieves. Plus a lifetime free replacement guarantee in the event of a burglary attack.
