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.

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.

Yeah padlock was not really the problem here. The whole construction is. You push that thing on its side and it would probably explode in pieces. Imo it is pushing the limit of what is legal. But still looks nice.

You can display non restricted firearms on the wall of your home with a gun lock (and no ammo displayed alongside). These people humming along to “that doesn’t look legal” are an absolute -gas-
