I have been shopping for a safe lately, simply because I'm running out of closet space, and I'm tired of using trigger and cable locks.
I'm not looking for something that is indestructible, nor does it have to withstand a Volcanic eruption, but I want it to be enough of a deterrent in the off chance a meth-head comes in my house when nobody is home, that they can't just carry it out (like a thin metal gun cabinet) and would require some serious effort (or smarts) to break into.
I came across this one locally, and they're asking $400 obo, and I'm thinking I could take it home for $300, if not less. (Seller is frustrated with several no-shows.)
Seller doesn't know the model number, and from what I can find on the interwebs, it is a 1990's model Cannon 24-Gun safe. It's 62" Tall, 30" wide, and 25" deep. It weighs around 500lbs.
Now, I know squat about safes, other than I want something that can't be carried out or easily pried open... Would it be worth it to snag this thing for $300-$400?
