Buy recommendations Princess Auto safe

Post image

While I was at princess auto recently I couldn't help but notice the crazy price on their 20 gun safe. Ive been looking at safes recently not only for my guns but for personal documents and stuff. Wondering if its a good buy or if the typical princess auto quality is something I should be worried about.

Genuine question: is it wise to keep important, non-firearm related, items in a gun safe?

I used to keep cash, passport and various other valuables in my gun safe but stopped doing that when I learned more about the insanity of our gun laws.

It depends.

Your average gun safe complies with the bare minimum legal requirements. It's basically a high school locker, signals that it has expensive things inside it, and it's not very difficult to break into or carry away.

The safe pictured is too heavy to carry away, it has big dead bolts and not just a flimsy 1/4 turn sheet metal latch, and it has a fire rating.
