I have a small gun safe for my home defense pistol. I has a digital keypad and a key backup.
It is bolted to my floor under my bed.
I just today came under the realization, that it will not open if I am ON the bed. I installed it and tested it with me next to the bed, the door of the safe came about 1/4" inch from the bottom of the bed frame. I assumed everything would be okay.
Just this morning, I got to thinking, and tried to open it while the wife and I were on the bed. The door did not clear the bed frame.
Just got me to thinking if I needed the weapon in an emergency situation what would happen.
I made a bracket and installed the safe to the bed instead of to the floor. So this way, it is not going to be encumbered.
