Is it a bad idea to have a secondary safe dedicated to nothing but ammo?
It sounds like a good idea, in my feeble mind, to have the ammo contained in a cheapo safe that has some fireboard. Good, bad, brilliant? (probably not the later) |

Quoted:
It's not a bad idea. I have my ammo in a stack on safe, but I'm starting to outgrow it. I put shelves in my locker that actually hold quite a bit of ammo |

If it matters this is the one I could get slightly used.
18 gun After doing some additional research it seems the safe being sealed is the problem in a fire, creates a big bomb. What if I tore the heat expanding seals out so the safe could "breathe"? |
| Not in my opinion. Why spend money on a safe for ammo when you can spend it on ammo? If there is a fire, I don't mind the ammo burning as I can easily replace it. Same thing if someone steals it, but I can't remember the last time someone stole a bunch of ammo in our neck of the woods. Just seems like an unnecessary expense. If you happen to have room in your gun safe and want to put ammo in, cool, but not a separate safe for ammo. |

I bought a simple Rigid 48"X24" tool storage box from Home Depot for around $250. It holds a lot, bolts down, and locks. I use it to store the majority of my gun gear in.

Like this Also great for storing all your burglary tools i.e. crowbar, demolition saws etc. so that would be burglars have to bring their own
