Misc Gun cabinet for the poors

Finally finished my makeshift Amazon only gun locker for my apartment. It’s obviously not built to keep a determined person or a fire out but it keeps me legal. Total cost was $320.

Really nice but you might want to check the legality of it. Law about this are a grey area as usual but I am not sure this qualifies as "cannot easily be broken into". Here id the law: "stored in a container, receptacle or room that is kept securely locked and that is constructed so that it cannot readily be broken open or into;"

Ya that exposed padlock might be pushing the envelope. The cheap gun cabinets are considered legal, but they have an integral locking mechanism. I wouldn’t want to have to argue this one in court

Exposed padlock is good enough for a safe. It was argued in court in R v barnes (2011 Ontario) which laid out that a school locker locked with a pad lock is a safe for gun laws.

That's different from this IMO - even a screwdriver could pop that off.
