Buy recommendations No room for a safe

I know you only need a SLD for a NR gun but… I want to be cautious as I have kids in the home and visitors often come over

I’m thinking of picking up my first gun (mossberg 590R) and I can’t find any space in my house to fit a safe

any ideas? I know under the bed lock boxes exist but my issue would be that i don’t think i can fit a dehumidifier in there

anyone else been in the same boat? and also obviously i do plan to get a few more guns so I want to plan with that in mind

My friend has some airsoft at home, and he is well aware how his kid might be able to get their hand on it if he is not careful (and he did the same thing when he was young with his dad stash, lol)

He manage to get some school lockers that basically sold for 25 ea, and bought some, good scrunb down and good to go.

If you want to keep firearm in the garage, then I would probably go for safe route, and you should buy a humidity meter to check the humidity and probably a ring camera around for security reason.

Amazon sell those smaller dehumidifier that you can use for like a closet, and that's basically what I have been using.

I lucked out got a 4 locker set for free a few years ago. Still bought a safe but use it to keep other adult stuff away from my teens. And my firework stash.

I tend to stockpile fireworks over the year and do a big show for new years with a few friends. There’s 4-5 of us that stockpile and usually we have enough for a 45min to an hour show out at a buddy’s farm. All the neighbours come for it and the annual bonfire. He collects brush and dead trees cleaning up his place, pallets and scrap lumber all year and lights it on Newyears. It’s usually a pile 30 foot across 15-20 feet high. You can’t get within 50 feet of it once it’s going. But it lights up the sky great for shooting some clays early in the evening.
