I agree with his post. I did not have a safe until I had a FFL-Then it was necessary. All of my go-to guns are hidden, not in a safe, if not on me! I don’t have kids, but if I know they are coming by, the guns just get hidden higher. If I go on vacation all guns go into the safe(bolted to the floor through 4″ of concrete) before I had a safe they just got locked in the trunk of my car in the garage. Insurance will cover them.
Another option is to add a dead-bolt to a closet. It is a quick fix if you can’t get a safe.
That may work to keep the guns away from children, but it isn’t going to help you against thieves, especially if the closet door is a typical hollow-core interior door. You can get through one of those with a single good kick.
