I have a little girl that is just now starting to crawl around. I’d like to have my pistol in a safe place that she can’t get to, but I can. I was thinking a small safe under the bed or something like that.

Any ideas? I’ll be Stateside in a few months, so I would pick it up then, unless the company delivered int’l.

Thanks!

We bought a small combination-and-key safe from WalMart and it seems to be working fine. It’s big enough that it would be difficult for someone to walk off with it, but it’s small enough to put in the closet. It’s probably about 1’6" x 1’6" x 1’6". Works for us!

I’ll second **unclviny** ’s recommendation. Just got my long gun vault (Champion), and am waiting to save up to get this brand for inside the house.
