What Kind of gun safe does Murtaugh have in Lethal Weapon?

I can't remember which one it was but it shows him enter in the code and the door automatically pops down to reveal a suspended gun holster. Great gun safe quick easy access but still very safe.

Don't know exactly. They do make gun safes that have an electric key pad entry style. They take batteries obviously but I don't like my gun up that much cuz it's always with me. I have one with a little combo lock deal. Just check out online stores like cabelas and others have them to.

What kind of gun safe should we buy?

We have a Springfield XD40 hand gun. I am interested in a safe for that. We also have a shotgun and I am interested in a safe for both. Can you recommend a quality safe for just the handgun or one that would fit both. Thanks.

i think they sell them in some walmarts and if they don't (I've seen them in the walmart near my house) you could ask the guy at the sporting goods counter what walmarts do sell them.

i am not saying only males work in the sporting goods department

Is there a way to break into a gun safe without destroying it?

Well we have a RedHead® 11/22 Fire-Resistant Gun Safe, it has a keypad for a password and what they call a spoke handle. We locked it on accident and cant get it open. Is there a secret code or something that will open it up, or is there a way to open it without blowing it up?

Here's the deal....

The person that talks about the lock-out feature is correct. If you don't put in the correct 6 digit number in 3 tries, it will give you a "time-out" of about 15 minutes before you can try again.

SOME safes have will reset to 123456 if you remove the battery and then replace it. But the majority will not.

This is what you would really have to do. Take a digital photo of the safe and the serial number tab. Contact RedHead and explain your situation. They may have you complete an avidavit that the safe belongs to you and you might also have to supply a proof of purchase. RedHead will then go through their records and determine what the electronic combination is. This would mean that you would have to remove the batteries and reinstall them, and then punch-in the combo that RedHead gives you. Also, if you kept the original instructions for the safe, it should have the default combo with the instructions. Again...you have to remove the battery first, then reinstall the battery and the electronic lock will reset to the factory digits.

I know this from experience. I bought a safe from a retailer that was on sale as a clearance item. It turns-out that they locked the paperwork inside the safe. I agreed to purchase the safe and then contacted the manufacturer of the safe. I provided them with complete proofs of purchase for the safe (including the serial number of the safe) and they were able to go through their records and find the correct electonic code to open it.

What’s the best way to reduce moisture in a gun safe?

Our metal gun safe is not stored in the most ideal place. I suspect it will gather some moisture if we're not careful. What can I use to keep the inside dry?

A "GoldenRod" dehumidifier. You can pick one up at Cabela's or Bass Pro for about $30.

Browning makes a rod dehumidifier as well, and it sells for around the same price.

How do you move something as large as a gun safe up a flight of stairs?

A gun safe can weigh 1000+lbs, how would you get it say up a flight of stairs in your house, into your master bedroom?

well , u said u r gonna move it up ur flight of stairs @ home , my advice to u is to check whether that flight would stand that massive wieght (it's half a ton man). specially if it's a wooden stair.
just in case it's not a wooden stair , if it's RC or steel , then u can simply put a slider or two straight bars & tie ur safe putting the robe around a pivot or pillar , making a lever that way , u'll need the help of 3 other persons i guess .......

Can I deduct the cost of a gun safe purchased to store my guns used in my law enforcement profession? Or do I have to depreciate it? If I must depreciate, over what period do I depreciate it?

What is the best gun safe to buy for around $1500 to $2000?

I am looking for a gun safe that will offer theft protection and fire protection. I've looked at Sportsman Steel, Liberty, and Sturdy Safe. I know Ft. Knox, Amsec, and Graffunder are all great safes, but they are way out of my price range. Anyone have suggestions or advice?

Graffunder have the best safety record on the books at this moment in time..

gun safes: what type should I get?

I live in California, have small children and need to buy a closet gun safe. I would like your input. I have a few handguns and rifles. I also want to store some other items in it.

Do I get a safe with just a combination lock or a combination and a key lock?

Are there any "better" manufacturer's or are they basically all the same, with different brand names?

What else do I look for?

Thank you for your answer.

There are a few factors that everyone forgets.

Safes are heavy. Being in California I know they built a lot of homes with elevated floors. If this is your case keep in mind that most safes weigh more that 500 pounds.

You may need to reinforce the floors joices where you put the safe.

Now with that said.
Safes are like insurance, the cost of the safe determines the amount of protection you get. (for the most part)

A security cabinet will keep honest people honest.
A safe with dial, or key and dial, or a touch pad will slow down a determined crook.

If a crook has to spend more than 15 minutes breaking in then they will be more likely to get caught.

You also need to remember, safes are not fireproof.
You can add layers of fire rated drywall (sheetrock) to the inside to add fire resistance to them.

When you select your safe ( I like the cannon safes myself ) make sure you place the side of the door that opens against the wall. This inhibits the ability to pry the door open.

Also, bolt it to the floor.

Part of your select process should also be, find the size you think you need and buy the next bigger size.

you will be amazed the "stuff" that you put in the safe.
