#GunSafes

Welcome to TFB Amazon Deals 19! The winter months provide some pretty unique challenges for gun owners when it comes to keeping them in pristine condition. Unless you have all of your guns religiously Cerakoated or slathered in cosmoline or gun oil, you’ll inevitably wind up exposing them to water, cold air, and just moisture in general. For the most part, moisture is bad for guns and doesn’t help keep them looking pretty so it’s important to store your guns in a secure and climate-controlled location if you plan on putting them up for the winter months as you break out your other shooting implements. Ammunition and reloading components are even more sensitive than firearms during all times of the year so if you’re looking to upgrade your gun storage area or reloading setup we’ve got a few deals this week that I think you’ll find interesting or helpful.

The Walton County Sheriff’s Office recently took to their Facebook page to inform the public of gun thefts and to share their disgust regarding people leaving unattended guns in unlocked cars. In less than a week’s time, they took seven reports of vehicular burglaries in which seven guns were stolen, and all of the vehicles were unlocked. We’re well aware that not every gun owner is as enthusiastic about guns as we at TFB are, some people simply see guns as a tool and nothing else, and that’s perfectly fine, but every tool has a different value to different people, especially to people that aren’t supposed to have them.

After seeing Carole Bouquet in For Your Eyes Only, I wanted nothing more than to be James Bond. I even have a similar Walther PP to the one he used in Dr. No. While knowing James Reeves is a close second to that dream, our James will probably have a much harder time concealing all the spy gadgets in his hotpants. Part of any solid spy fantasy is the hidden gun room. From I Spy to Kingsman, no spy fiction is complete without one. Now, you can have one of your very own. Modern Motion, a design company based in Texas, has just introduced their Vulcan Safe Lift, which turns any safe into a floor safe.

Regardless of whether you own firearms for recreation, sport, or defense, it is a fact of life that any gun is an attractive target for theft. For the most part, gun enthusiasts would rather keep discussions within a comfortable zone of topics about technical and aesthetic characteristics of the guns themselves, but from time to time it is necessary to sober up and talk about theft prevention and mitigation. No, it’s not always fun to talk about the possibility of someone else entering your home or domicile and taking that which is not rightfully theirs, but that is what we will be tackling today.

Gun safes have been on our minds as of late thanks to a recent rush of said safes on the market. Among those recently announced: Winchester’s 150th Anniversary safe and Realtree’s under-the-bed and stackable safe. Just how theft-proof is your safe? Unfortunately for one Missouri gun owner, it wasn’t enough.
