| Nomad 32: A Modular Gun Safe That Goes Anywhere You Want - Some Assembly Required |
| 2021-09-20 |
| [Guns America] Over 40 million guns were sold in 2020. Of those, five million were likely purchased by first-time gun buyers, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the firearms industry trade association. Stands to reason that millions of people are looking for a place to safely store their newly purchased hardware. Because as the Peter Parker principle remains us, "With great power, there must also come great responsibility" or as comedians Key and Peele say, "With great power comes great responsitrilitrance." Put bluntly, it is one’s duty as a responsible gun owner to properly secure his or her firearms. Obviously, there are plenty of options out there, everything from trigger locks to gun cases to strong boxes and cabinets to, of course, gun safes. One’s preferences, needs, and homelife will ultimately dictate which route one pursues. For me, I recently decided it was time for a major upgrade. Enter Steelhead Outdoors, the Minnesota-based manufacturer of the Nomad series of modular, easy-to-assemble, AND disassemble, gun safes. |

| #3 Article says the door stays shut and locked without the hinges. Also said the door is some 135 lbs, so I hope they didn't skimp on the hinges. Have that door open and a person uses the door to get off the floor, and those are chinesium screws... A good point. 500 lbs assembled, unloaded. |

| #2 Put it upstairs in an unused bedroom. Hard to get to and I can't wait for it to crash thru the floor. |
