In another thread there was discussion about storage of guns in safes. Someone mentioned they store jewelry in theirs. I began to think about another item that I have added to our gun safe.

I take prescription pain killers & I have teenagers & grandchildren in & out of my house.

I take some of the popular party drugs (vicoden, hydrocodone, percocet, darvocet, etc. you get the idea). The bulk of these drugs are stored in my gun safe. I remove the pills a few @ a time for my consumption, when I need them.

When my kids teenage friends are around, "Out of sight, out of mind, No temptation!" is my motto. And most of "the danger" is what gets in the grape vine at school. "Blank's mom takes thus & so." This information gets around & school & next thing you know is some school kid is breaking into my house to steal the drugs because they heard through the grapevine. . . I hope the grape vine includes "they are kept in the safe".

I have introduced some people to guns & shooting. When I talk to others about the safe storage of guns, I include this information to enhance & help assure that my intent is for my house to be safe for everyone. I have found that it does help because many of these people never thought that homes are much safer for everyone if these drugs are stored under lock & key.

Safety first.

additional items

It's a good place to store car keys and liquor when you have teenagers
and there friends over when they know your at work all day.
Also good for passports and legal papers.
I've threatened to lock my daughters cell phone in there, that always gets their attention.
 
I've always said,"Guns and drugs belong together".

Joking aside I have no kids running around but if I did I'd lock up the drugs.

I just caught my dog/kid stealing a pack of gum out of the wifes purse so maybe the gum needs to be locked up.Heck a little lockup for the crook might be in order.;)
 
I keep papers in there that I don't want to lose. Car titles, life insurance, appraisals on my Wife's wedding ring. If I want to put something away and not have to worry about forgetting where it is, I put it in the Zanotti.

In addition to titles, deeds, important papers and such, mine holds knives, clips old-old ammo boxes for decoration, elk ivory, expensive scopes looking for a rifle, wedding pictures, camcorder, old coins and paper money, grandpa's watch, check blanks and my kids penny collection. What the wife has on her shelf is her business.
