I've used them - no problem. After too many years of gun safes and not getting to enjoy the look of the functional art contained therein, I finally built a secure gun room. No gun has to hit another just to pick it up and replace it. I did keep the safes for ammo and somehow one has started to accept some permanent residents. If you get the opportunity to build a secure gun room, best to make it bigger than your first thoughts - if you can. Maybe should have stuck with safes and socks

I built mine 16'x24' thinking that would be plenty big... but it's not. I have a 47 long-gun safe that I keep most of them in and a smaller 24 gun safe both in my 'secure room' (keeping in mind that nothing is really secure) and that's where they stay.
The room doubles as my library and my reloading room and has a couple of nice chairs and a TV too. Not a bad place to spend spare time... if only I had any.
