[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Safe for NFA items.

Posted: 1/4/2005 9:25:27 AM EDT

I'm hoping to pick up a few sbr's in the next few years and have been wondering, what are minimum requirements for a safe? I haven't been able to find any laws that specify. Does it have to be a $1000+ heavy safe, or will a thin-skinned $200- safe from Wally World or Dunham's do? Also wondering if being an apartment dweller will be an issue.
Thanks

There are no requirements.

secure storage requirements are binding on dealers/manufacturers.

of course, only a doofus leaves firearms unlocked and laying about, imo.

The Ohio "failure to secure a dangerous ordnance" law doesn't apply?

For an apartment dweller, a Zanotti Armor Safe is one option. Also folks have taken several $499 StackOn Safes and bolted them side by side for added security. For NFA items, I would get a safe with a decent fire rating.

a machinegun is no more 'dangerous' than a snub-nose revolver.

can you post a link to that law? i would like to read it.

Ohio Revised Code, Title 29 §2923.19
For definition of a "dagerous ordnance" see Ohio Revised Code, Title 29 §2923.11

Better be "SAFE" than sorry. Think about how much your firearms total value is (or in this case wil be...) Now, think about putting them in a "cheap" safe.......Thought not. Not only that, don't just buy a safe, buy a "fire safe", especially if you have investment grade firearms.
