Under the Second Amendment, you are well within your right to own a gun. You must remember, however, that there are certain responsibilities that fall to owners of firearms. The number one responsibility is that you must keep your guns out of the hands of children or home invaders. Most people that face this reality will purchase a gun safe, such as the Winchester Supreme or the Winchester Ranger. These safes will not only keep your guns out of sight, but they will also protect your firearms from fire or other natural disasters. You shouldn’t need any more reason than that to buy one.

Most people believe that they only need a gun safe if there are small children in the house. While it is very important to keep firearms out of the reach of children, this is not the only reason that purchasing a gun safe is a good idea. For one thing, you will want to have your guns out of reach should anyone ever invade your home. Having your guns in someone else’s hands is a scary situation. Gun safes can also protect your firearms from any fires or natural disasters, so check out one of the Winchester gun safes and protect your belongings from damage.

If you own a handgun or a rifle, then you have a specific responsibility to keep your firearms out of the hands of children and other individuals. You should have some way to secure your guns, as well as a place to lock up ammunition. Before you even buy a gun, you should know where you plan to store it. There is nothing scarier than knowing that your gun is in the wrong hands. You should definitely consider a gun safe, such as the Winchester Ranger or the Winchester Supreme, which will not only keep your guns out of reach, but can also protect against unforeseen events.

By choosing to keep guns in the house, you have a responsibility to the other people that live in the same home. Choosing to use a gun safe is not just a good idea for families with children, as these safes can keep your firearms protected from fire and theft. By leaving your weapons out, you are opening yourself up to many possible scenarios that involve gun theft, and knowing that your gun is in someone else’s hands is a scary situation. A popular gun safe is the Winchester Ranger 19, which offers basic protection of your firearms, which will, in turn, offer protection for your household.

Ranger 19 The Ranger 19 will hold up to 24 of your most valuable firearms. From rifles to handguns, ammo and other valuables, this safe is the best investment you can make for your home. The keypad lock makes it easy to access your guns at a moment’s notice.

Your guns are investments, and this safe takes your investments seriously. It comes with a dehumidifier hole, which allows your guns to stay dry and rust-free. There are top and side shelves to help you organize your collection and ammo.

If you own a gun of any kind, it is just common sense to keep it locked up. Having children in the home is not the only reason to purchase a gun safe. If your home were ever the victim of a home invasion, your guns would likely be the very first things that a thief would take. There is nothing scarier than knowing that your gun is in the hands of someone else. By purchasing a Winchester Ranger 19, you can ensure the basic security of your firearms from house fires and home invaders. You can also ensure your peace of mind.

New Winchester Gun Safe Models for 2010

This just in, Winchester Gun Safes models new for 2010. Winchester as you know is based in Fort Worth, Texas. Some of the new features I want to point out on these safes are…. First Winchester has increased the fire rating temps on all its models. Plus all but the Ranger series has “4 way bolt action”. Before I go to far I should point out what that means to you and me.  Lets take a look at the door opening in the picture on the details page.  Other manufacturers put the bolts on the hinge side that are fixed or welded into spot or, as with the case of internal hinges, there are none.  However with Winchester series they have gone to the added  expense of having more secure bolt work where the hinge side, top side, bottom side, and opening side all move. Just like on a jewelry vaults. Another important feature to point out is they increased the quality of the fire resistant material. Please note the external tempature has gone from a good rating of 1200 degrees to 1400 degrees. The 4 new models are…(hear the drum roll)…. The Supreme, Silverado, Western, and Ranger gun safes.

Winchester Supreme Gun Safe is first in the rankings. It is rated for 2 hour fireproof with 20, 2 inch thick bolts.  That’s amazing, its positively top of the line in quality, integrity, and strength. I’m so impressed with it that I  give it a solid 10 rating on my “Cool” scale.  Now with pistol pockets and 4 way bolt action as standard on this model.

The Winchester Siverado Gun Safes have replaced the Legacy series. This series is rated for 1 1/2 hour fireproof and has 1 1/2 inch thick bolts. It also comes  the 4 way bolt action like jewelry vault as a standard feature. But to go further,  they made the door thicker. Its huge at almost 6 inches thick! Thats alot gun safe for this kinda money.

Winchester Western Gun Safes series are rated for 1 hour fireproof and use 1.25 inch thick bolt (are you getting the impression that while other manufactures are going cheaper quality and price, Winchester is going up in quality but not in price?) Very impressive gun safe. Solid built with top of the line steel and of course UL listed lock just like on the best models.  Again with the 4 way action bolt work.  Other companies are going to have to step up their game to compete on this level.

Winchester Ranger Gun Safes is the entry level gun safe. But don’t get this safe confused with anything sold in a big box retailer. For an entry level gun safe this is one of the best. Its not cheap or flimsy. Very well made 45 minute fireproof and excellant bolt work. Though this model only have 2 way action bolts, it locks solid and is a very good deal for the money. (note that most models in this price range only have moving bolts on the door opening side and fixed on the hinge side…this is another impressive upgrade from Winchester).  I also want to point out something small and that is the quality of the liner or carpet on the inside.  Normally gun safes in this catagory cheap out and use what we call “mouse fur” for the liner. Which is really cheap crap.  But not Winchester.  The are still using a very high quality upgraded material even on this entry level model.

Overall Winchester Gun Safes are changing the way the industry is looking at gun safes.  Bringing quality, workmanship, and a better product to the gun collector.  All this for extremely reasonable prices.  I hope this helps in your search for gun safes.

Mutual Gun Safes model MS-5922

Lets start by looking at the fireproof material used on the MS-5922 gun safe.  The use of a sheetrock fireboard material and the U.L. approved heat activated door seal provide enough protection to protect from fires. The Mutual Gun Safe is lab tested in a oven chamber at 1760 degrees degrees Fahrenheit for 60 minutes.  While staying at or below 350 internal.  Lots of people ask me “Why 350 degrees?” because just above that tempature paper starts to char and can flash fire at 400 degrees.  So this is very good protection from a house fire.

The Mutual Gun Safe is also equipped with a full arsenal of anti-burglary features.

1.The locking bolts are a massive one inch in diameter.

2.There are at least three dead bolts facing the hinge side, one active bolt at the top, and at least five active bolts along the closing side.

3. The lock is protected from punch-out attempts by a Manganese (HRC 60 hardness) hardplate.

4. The LaGard Dial Lock is a Group II lock and has a spring-loaded relocker. (LaGard is an American lock maker, excellant reputation)

5. There are two bolt-down holes predrilled at the bottom of the safe that accommodate standard 1/2″ bolts to keep the safe where it is meant to stay.

5. 10 Gauge steel which is the largest size used just before you increase to plating.  Many popular gun safe brands you see around are actually a thinner guage of steel such as 14 or 16….larger number means thiner steel. Many of these safes use a 1 inch bolt on their safe too but because the steel is thinner the wall of the safe expands when it gets crowbar attacked.  I personally suggest not to get anything thinner than a 10 guage steel.

These features make the Mutual Gun Safe MS-5922 an excellant choice for a gun safe.  To get a better look see MS-5922.
