I promptly took my guns, including a several thousand dollar antique that belonged to my grandfather, to my parents house, and locked them in a gun cabinet there. It turned out to be a good move, as last week I was broken into. Upon finding my ammo, the perpetrator appeared to search relentlessly for the weapons that go with it. With hunting season coming up, I am going to need to keep my guns at home again. But how can I protect them from theft, in a fairly low cost way? I thought about running a bike lock through the trigger guards and around a pipe. But the only exposed pipes are in my rather damp basement. Is this a bad idea, moisture or not? Any other ideas? Please help. Alan Geist tektronix!shark!alang
