Where to buy a cheap gun safe locally?

[Slow Hand]

Quite awhile ago, my dad bought me a cheap, sheetmetal gun 'safe' at a local Wal or K mart. I upgraded and gave teh safe to my brother a few years back. Now, my dad has decided that things have changed enough that he would like to have his small collection locked up just in case. He's wanting something like what I had, which was a Homak or Stack-On or similar type of thing. We can't find anyplace locally to get one. I hate to have to spend $35 shipping a $100 gun safe. He's checked wal and K mart and as well as Menard's and Lowes with no joy. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking online and we can get one shipped for around $150-180.

Thanks,
Doug K

Doug,

Dunham's has them on sale for 25% off. Don't know if you have any close to you or not.

Bloomington Walmart had a 5-10 gun thin sheet metal safe for like $99 -- saw it a few weeks ago, don't know if they still have any. Might be worth a call.

And this guy of course has no financial interest in the stuff he's hawking. He's a totally objective, disinterested third party....

There's no doubt the cheaper safes from Wal-Mart, etc., won't last long against large pry bars, but at the same time there's also no doubt they'll keep guns out of the reach of kids. I'm thinking that's the main reason people buy them. If they want to lock 25K worth of guns, they'll probably buy a more expensive safe. At that point, what he says starts making sense. Better to pay 2.5K for one that will keep out thieves than 1K for one that won't.
