    Fire is a concern for me even more than theft. A decent alarm system can rout most burglers before they can find the guns
    in most situations. The last thing they want is to be caught or even seen by someone hearing the alarm. That said, dont be expecting
    cops to be rushing to the scene of a burglery. Its safer for them to arrive after the fact, which is in fact what usually happens. I have several
    very good safes but frankly i hate them. I share them with my 2 sons and thats part of the problem. A safe room completly isolated in the event
    the rest of the structure is destroyed by fire is in the plans.

    you hafta separate the powder/ammo/primer to a diff location, and then install fire sprinkler system or fire suppression system just for armory or all over the house.

    Powder should definatly be kept in a seperate area away from guns. It can and does go bad and when it does everything close by turns to rust very rapidly.
    Just last year i had an unopened 8# jug of h5010 go bad that was about 20 years old. It completly rusted away the metal lid and the toxic fumes started
    to rust everything in the immediate area. Had that happened inside a gunsafe that may not get opened very often it could have been a serious problem.
