Aluminum Gun Cases Or Gun Closets

By Rodney Greyling


Many people build gun closets, but in some cases a metal case is actually better. The decision should be based on what you prefer and your reasons for storing the guns. Many people do not need a separate closet for keeping their guns. Gun collectors may need the extra space provided by a closet, but they can also benefit from having a metal gun case. The following guidelines can help you decide whether a metal case will serve your purposes.

How Many Guns Do You Have?The Number of Weapons You Own

Sure, gun closets are almost like having an 'art gallery' in your house when you have a wide range of firearms to choose from. However, if you just have a small amount of guns then it does not make sense to spend money to build a gun closet and a metal gun case will do just fine. With a closet, there is only one place in the house where you can store your guns. If you have a lot of guns then having a metal gun case to store a few of them when you go on hunting trips is a brilliant idea.

Is Security a Primary Issue for You?

A gun closet does not prepare you for attacks on the home. All that it means is that you are better equipped to deal with a possible intrusion and nothing more. For adequate home protection you need to consider something else. Do you intend to hide the key of your gun closet somewhere safe and if so how far will you have to walk to eventually get to them? Will your gun closet be close to your room or any other strategic point? Some people do not think about how hard it will be for them to get into their gun closet in case of emergency. The shorter the distance you have to cover to get to it the better. Depending on the neighborhood that you are in a gun closet is basically an invitation for thieves, a metal gun case is not such an invitation to criminals. You may also combine the two as well: a metal gun case for security needs stored away at a strategic access point and a gun closet for leisure needs such as hunting and shooting sports.

Who Can Get to the Guns?

Unless you have projected your gun closet in a very special way, it will be easily seen. You run the risk of forgetting the key in the lock one day or placing it somewhere where your children can find if ( if you have children). Children are quite crafty at finding things they are not supposed to have. In other words, you cannot entirely hide a gun closet, but you can hide metal gun cases. In this aspect you reduce the risk of exposing your guns to the wrong hands.
