Why You Need a Safe for Your Firearms
Intro
When it comes to storing firearms in your home, the rules vary depending on where you live. As long as your state doesn’t have specific storage laws for firearms, you’re generally safe to keep them locked in your house when you’re not around. But what about when you have friends over? Even if your guns are out in the open, as long as you're present, you’re in control. However, this doesn’t guarantee your firearms are safe from misuse when you’re not there. That's where Blacksmith Safes come in.About Blacksmith Safes
Typically, Blacksmith Safes are known for their small, quick-access pistol safes—perfect for under the bed or tucked away in a drawer. But recently, they've expanded their product line to include larger, more compact rifle safes that still offer the portability and convenience of smaller models. These safes are easy to ship and move around, yet more secure and functional than a traditional gun cabinet.
The new Blacksmith SF0104 rifle safes offer both electronic keypad entry and biometric fingerprint access. You can set your own code (default is 123456) or use your fingerprint for quick access. It’s a solid and reliable way to keep your firearms safe from unauthorized hands.
Spacious and Secure Storage
This particular rifle safe can hold up to five rifles, which is plenty for most gun owners. While I won't use this safe for my entire collection, it's perfect for storing my NFA items like my short-barrel rifle and suppressors. This ensures they're securely locked away when I'm not home or someone not listed on my trust is in the house.The safe also comes with a removable shelf for storing smaller items like documents, suppressors, or accessories. The door features handy pockets for pistols or additional gear. With ample space, it’s perfect for keeping your firearms organized and secure.
Why Lock Up NFA Items?
Now, why do I need to lock up my NFA items, like a short-barrel rifle or suppressor? Simple—if I leave these items unsecured and someone who’s not listed on my trust comes into my house, the ATF considers it a transfer. Transferring these items to someone without going through an authorized dealer is a violation of the law.Take the real-life scenario of "Big D" (we'll call him that to protect the innocent). Big D is an Air Force member with access to fully automatic M4 rifles, but when he comes to house-sit for me, he can’t be trusted around my Anderson Manufacturing short-barrel rifle or my SilencerCo Octane 45. While he’s trusted to manage multi-million-dollar machines and military-grade firearms, my personal NFA items are a different story.
This scenario underscores the importance of keeping these items locked away. Owning NFA items doesn’t give the ATF the right to inspect your collection, but if you’re an FFL holder (Federal Firearms Licensee), they can. That’s why secure storage is a must.
