Julie,
If you have a local firearms dealer, or even a sporting goods store, they
should high capacity gun safes that you could look at and price out. We use
a safe that is fireproof (to a certain temperature) to hold our guns that
will fit; at least two or three are much too long, one nearing about 8'.
From a firearms owner's standpoint, look at the ones that have a keypad or
tumble style lock. In my opinion they are more secure and tend to be heavy
enough where someone can't tamper with them. You may be able to find a
safe that can hold all of the longarms with enough room for a few pieces of
jewelry, but if you have a large number of pistols, you may need to have
someone customize interior shelving in another safe altogether.
Feel to free to email if you have any questions.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Gun Storage
Hi Everyone,
I'd like to get some suggestions regarding gun storage. Right now my
museum has what I would call a metal utility cabinet that houses the
rifles/shotguns in our gun collection that is secured with a padlock that has been
added on. This cabinet holds about 40 guns, with the remainder of our
handguns (not sure of how many at this point) in a locked storage room. I do not
feel that these provide adequate storage/security as the cabinet is
located in a hallway, that is supposed to be limited to staff only, but this
isn't always the case. I'd like to get a more secured storage facility for
these artifacts that would be fire proof and would also be able to store some
of our valuable jewelry, coins, etc. I've been looking at gun safes
online, but wondered if anybody has a vendor they've worked with, suggestions for
types of safes, etc.
Thanks,
Julie
