Bought a 50 inch safe decades ago. The flinter is the last one in, and I have to heel/toe it in.
A tall enough storage safe for muzzleloaders

problem i have with hiding guns is i forget where i hid them! and the old standby query to the wife, "honey, have you seen the insert gun here" can only lead to something bad.

Seriously, a guy in K C had that happen to him. The burglars CAME BACK weeks later and made him open it at gun point. He wasn’t hurt except shaken up. That’s why I keep a few old clattering Belgian doubles I refinished for practice laying around. Modified never to fire again. So they will grab them and leave!
I have two Canon 40-count gun safes. They will only hold that many if you store one muzzle up and the next muzzle down. They're 73" from the floor to the top.
I have a Longrifle with a 42" barrel that touches the shelf above. If I took it out, I'd have another 12".
Yeah, somebody could wrap a chain around them and yard them out with a truck. But to what avail? A safe full of busted guns? Oh yeah, I forgot. Some criminals are stupid.

Exactly what my Crime Prevention Officer told me when I had a UK Dealers Ticket (FFL). You can have the best security system money can buy but if someone sticks a shotgun up your nose (his words) you are going to let them have anything they want!
Big difference between problem child inside your home or already outside your home and moving on down the road. An acquaintance years ago shot a burglar who had already left the home. The Georgia judge said next time drag him back into the house. Save us all a lot of time and aggravation.
If you are getting away with a lot because she can't tell one gun from another? You NEVER want to go that route.

Can your firearms equity officers ruling / opinion be disputed/ appealed, sounds like what is commonly called a dollar a year man type and not using common sense.
A very hard to find trait today , especially with all the ( agendas ) rampant theser days.

I have found in the past it's best not to argue/appeal, especially in the Police region I live in. Common sense has been totally removed from the table. They have an agenda, that is to reduce the amount of guns in private hands and they will create any special 'rules' to support this. The major problem is that the people who are in charge don't understand how guns work or even in some cases, what constitutes a gun?? We (shooters) are tolerated provided that we don't rock the boat. I am convinced that the lead ban is just another way of limiting shooting here in the Europe, it's currently under review and most Shooting Organisations are coming up with ways to carry on using lead but anything with 'Environmental' in the title is a winner. I pray that I am proved wrong!
