I had it repaired. I was in a cast with my elbow bent at 90' with a sling for 3 weeks. It was July. It sucked. When the cast came off I had very little movement at the elbow or the wrist. Did lot's of PT. I am fine know. When I curl I use the pre made 110 lb barbell with no issues. Yet if I carry a 10 pound item with that arm for any length of time I get a burning sensation in my shoulder where the tendon attaches, which goes away as soon as I put the item down. I was one arming the hot tub when mine went. I felt my arm start to quiver and there was a loud pop. Then my bicep rolled up my arm toward my shoulder like a window shade. I went and sat for 20 minutes waiting for them to finish moving the hot tub, then got a 30 minute ride back to my car and them drove another 30 minutes to the hospital.

I don't actually own any guns, but I do have a nice magazine collection about them.
If I had a safe, and the house doesn't "swing with it" when a grown man walks across the floor, it should be safe pretty much anywhere.
I figure a 500lbs safe with some guns is the around same weight as a large sofa with three or four playboy bunnies frolicking on it and I'd be fine with THAT in any room in my house.

That's it, I am starting my room next month. I am tired of tripping over gun shit all over the house.
Nice set up, how big did you go for the room?

No, you don't. You can cross the street and go "bam" - no need to worry about it.

Rifle safe in the basement and a handgun safe upstairs mounted inside my closet wall. Works out well for me...
It is 12' x 12'. It seems to be just about right. Plenty of room for reloading/cleaning bench, reloading components and ammo.
All of the heavy duty building still takes place out in my shop where the Mill, drill press, hydraulic press, grinders, welders, torches and all other tools of mass destruction are located.

I've got a safe in the garage, 1st floor, 2nd floor and in my truck.....you can never have enough places with firearms and ammunition.
I have a 25 gun safe in my bedroom closet...Its 400lbs and lagged on the bottom and 2 sides...Its actually pretty empty. My main safe is in my garage. It weights in at 5700lbs. Crain and a counter weighted fork truck to get it in and move it around.

5700 pounds?? dam what are the dimensions on that baby
She is 7'tall X 5'wide X 3.5'Deep. Sadly the walls and doors are so thick its not overly huge inside. It was pulled from a bank I think in Wilmington,Ma. It had deposit slips in it from 1912.

This brings up an interesting question I have. I am going to invest in a safe or something similar, but the location I have in mind is the large closet in my master bedroom. In other words, out of sight and out of mind. Is it possible to buy something along the lines of a steel locker as opposed to a gun safe and simply attach it inside my closet? The locker would be locked obviously. I think the idea of a giant safe seems like overkill in my case. Many thanks!!
