I decided to check out a small safe for my revolvers that I could bolt into place.
The local stores have Homak cabinets but they look very poor as the door is bent sheet metal with large gaps in the corners and other places to provide pry bar access. The bars are also just stamped steel plates linked by sheet metal bars.
I went to the local Staples to check out the Sentry safes some forum members had mentioned and thought that the V530 might be a good candidate.
Then I went to the DOJ web site for a list of the approved safey devices and the requirements that these devices must meet at http://caag.state.ca.us/firearms/gunsafe.htm.
About this time I began getting that funny feeling that reminds me I am either in California or about to experience a panic attack.
Several of the Homak tin boxes are listed as qualifying even though there are several major areas where they do not meet the listed requirements. On the other hand, Sentry is not listed.
Anyone have information on this? Comments on the Sentry product?
