Question for Renters re: Safes
Post Body

I live in a 2 bedroom home with my fianceé, and we rent our home. I have several firearms, many of which are quite old and quite valuable. I've thought of getting a safe, since I've just been storing my guns in my closet, but the damn things are so heavy, I shudder to think about what will happen when we eventually move.

To the renters here, how do you store your firearms? Do you have a big gun vault that you hump from place to place, or is there a more elegant solution that I'm missing? .

I really don't like the idea of someone being able to break into my place and stumble upon my small armory. Sure, most of them aren't loaded, and I only have ammo for a couple of them, but I still think I need to find a way to secure them.

What do you think?

When I rented, I got around the problem of a big single safe by having several smaller safes that I then bolted together. So the end result was three safes side by side that, once they were secured together, were not going anywhere.

It was a little more of a pain to get at things because it was sometimes a game of "which one has what I want?" but come moving time it was infinitely easier to just undo the bolts, take them apart, move them by myself with no equipment heavier than a hand truck to another location.

The cost also ended up being about the same as one big safe anyways and I sold off those safes for basically the same price I paid for them.
