Alright I am brand new to the forum and I did a search and did not find a thread like this. I just bought my first gun safe and was looking for some ideas on how people set them up and where they store different items.
Thanks in advance
I would but unfortunately I took my safe along with all of my guns and ammo out to the lake and they proved too heavy for my boat. They pushed it down, flooded the boat, and now they are all 600ft underwater.
Damn, that happened to you, too?
how bout i not?
I tried but my flash doesn’t work and the lights were off.
While most of us do not like to “display” the guns that we didn’t lose in freak boating accidents…happens alot I hear… there are thread on other sites about this very thing with some good pictures and posts of how people set up their safe.
Could you possibly point me in a direction or maybe give me the name of a site? I understand people wanting to be secretive, but I figured with the number of picture threads of peoples collections on here that at least some of them would be willing to post inside their safe… Guess I was mistaken.
You too? And my insurance wouldn’t even cover it. The insurance company told me most people only carry a shotgun and some shells when they go duck hunting. 
notlownf - does your safe have a customizable interior, or is it set up a certain way already? i’m asking because pics of other people’s safes might not help, unless you’re looking to fabricate the interior.
plus, there are so many different sizes, brands, etc that how one might be set up may not be possible with another.
with the long guns, they just stand vertically in the rack - not many variations of that setup.
maybe it’d be helpful if you take a picture of your own safe, so we can see how it’s currently set up, and then people may offer suggestions on improving it. at least then, all the feedback is specific to your safe.
It is customizable. It’s a 24 gun Cannon. I will take pics once I get it in place and everything in it… it’s currently sitting in the garage waiting to be brought in the house… waiting for reinforcements.
Although my 3 guns are going to look pretty week compared to some of the collections ive seen here.
Thanks again for all the help everyone.

the “safe and home security forum” at ar15.com has an extensive collection of pictures.
Sarcasm and paranoia aside, this thread has the potential to be epic.
I recently started a thread about how to organise my disaster preps.
My firearm/accessories stash is a catastrophe in a corner. I am in serious need of inspiration.
One thing I do to give me more space is by having a peg board on the door. I use hooks and hang pistols by the trigger guard. I’ve got a universal type set up with three shelves on the left which hold my knive collection, optics and some emergency ammo. Rifles are stacked to the right. Don’t have a pic to show.

Well, I don’t have a safe pic at the ready, but I have not lost my guns in a boating accident, fire, theft, nor have I sold them.
I’m a proud American gun owner.
- 1 on the peg board if you can.
GlockTalk has a few threads. One guy took a big ole mess and turned it into a nice neat safe.
If you want to customized set up without the nice carpeted pieces, then plywood is your friend. I took some security cabinets from Wally World and made shelves for ammo.
Actually mine isn’t that much to look at. My pistols are on the shelves so there isn’t much to see. What I have mostly are old long guns my father left to me and my
M&P15.
It appears to me the black one has more room inside, am i correct, or am i seeing things?
whats the model of that black one?
Did you install the shelves inside and the racks for the rifles?
I understand that you did the pegboard.
