Do I need a gun safe?

If you have an old truck tool box, the ones that have a single lid that lifts up like a chest, not the ones with dual lids at each side of the truck, it could easily be bolted to wall or floor and some serious hasps and locks put on. It should do, unless you want desiccant or a heater rod to keep moisture out, that’s available as options in the high dollar safes. 



Keep in mind, though, toting up a true gun safe up stairs will be a back breaker, and will possibly draw a lot of attention to your close neighbors. Everyone is gonna know you have guns, period.

If you do decide on the stack on types, hopefully it comes in sections or pieces so as to make things easier to haul, and not draw so much attention.
