Hey guys. I am scheduled to Deploy to Iraq in May/June for a year.

I want to lock my guns up. (it is a long story, but I no longer can keep them in my glass front wood case when I am not there)

I don't need a fire proof safe, I just need a teenager proof safe.

I don't have a lot of money to spend on this, but I need one big enough for 9 long guns and 5 revolvers.

What should I look for, what should I steer away from? I'll tell you, I was just thinking about two of the $97. ones at Walmart.

Any other suggestions for me?

Thanks guys.

  Probably one of the less expensive safes out there. Teenager proof and average burglar proof.

  There is a BIG difference between safe and cabnet when you are looking.[;)] Any teenager I know can get into a cabnet in a few seconds with a hammer.
  
  PS> I know you only have 9 longguns and 5 rev. and this is a "14" Gun safe, but I think most here will agree that the number of guns you can actually get in the safe (without stacking them on top of one another) is usually considerably less than advertized. This safe in the link above would be the size you need for your guns, with not much if any room to spare.

  Buy a Cannon if you can afford it. In the event of flood or fire and you can't open the safe, they do it for you. Locksmiths charge around $300 plus to open a safe.
