You make a goods point, I do have a safe, I bought one of the sentry safes last winter, well got it for xmas, not the best but for 300 bucks it does the job. Now with two homes I now need a second one, might end up being what I do, the way I see it I now need a rifle well want one, something like a ar ak, just something fun to shoot, home defense and such. Plus every person should have one AR.
Not to sound to crazy
I think one solution to the theft thing is cameras, not a end all solution but it puts a face to the person.
I would say it is seasonal seem every year at the start and end of hunting season I find my self with the new gun itch, though this fall it did not get scratched till I bought my glock 17.
I thought about the better bigger safe thing. Not a bad idea, should I go that way it will be with some fire protection and alot more room, with one glock a 22, 12 ga, and my muzzleloader in there, the sentry 12 or 14 gun not sure which is not big enough really, ad the new glock and say a Ar and I am out of room. Thought it would make a good safe for florida and get a nice say something like this, though not as costly

Given your concerns over theft, you'd probably be better off spending your money on a REAL safe, not just a lockable steel cabinet. Not only can you store your firearms more securely, but any other valuables you might have.
Otherwise, I think some of the questions you're asking do little more than distract you from your original purpose. A wise person once told me to "listen more, talk less". There are volumes of information out there on the internet regarding nearly every question you've asked - use the search keys more often, read what people are saying and process it before you start asking questions. If you're going to act on any of that information, then act - don't spin around with it to the the point you find yourself asking the same questions a year later.
You really need to find some direction and focus. You have over 6000 posts here. Have you figured out the holster issue yet, or how far away to stand from your target, now that you've moved on to buying more guns? Truly, I've lost track. You tend to bounce around here like a short dog in high weeds.
If you're truly stuck on a problem and need some advice before you can proceed toward a solution, by all means ask the question. Right now, it really looks more like you're just thinking out loud, looking for some discussion that's been posted before and which you've participated in.
Last summer, a friend put together a tactical bolt gun that turned out to be one heckuva prairie dog-killer. I'd never known him to be interested in anything beyond his 1911 before that. Asked who built it for him, he told us that he did it himself. He related that he'd read up on long-range and precision-rifle shooting in print and on the internet and monitored a number of internet (sniper) forums. I vaguely remember him asking me a couple questions about calibers and he was very interested when another friend and I were running two competing exterior ballistics programs against each other at the range one day, but otherwise - he just went out and did it - and he did it very well.
My advice to you is simply this. Look around you and figure out what projects or interests you have. Prioritize them. Come up with a plan for each. Stay focused on the most important until you're satisfied with the result and can move on to the next. Right now, it seems that you have so many irons in the fire that you never really resolve anything?
