I looked to see if this topic has come up on the boards and I couldn't find where it had, so my appologies if it's a dupe.
I'm in ther market for a gun safe and would like some opinions as to where to put it at the house. I've got a roomy attached garage where I had planned to secure it to the floor, however I am second guessing that now after talking to the salesman at the gun shop. He told me garages and detached buildings are not good places for gun safes to be kept in due to humidity. He said even with a dehumidifier inside the safe, I would still get condensation on my guns and they would be prone to rust. My brother in-law has a Fat Boy that sits in his shop and he hasn't noticed any moisture throughout the year (the shop is heated, but not air conditioned). I have a place inside the house for the safe, but I don't want the hassel of moving it in and the chance of tearing the floor up getting it situated if I don't need to (it will be 1,000+ lbs.) If it matters, I'm looking at Browning's offerings that have a decent fire rating.
Thanks for any thoughts,
Marty
