    My safes are temperature and humidity controlled. No issues there. When I reached a certain number, room was a premium. Even with three safes I started to see a few stock marks etc. The cases reduce the chance of that. The only reason I use them. As I sell and reduce the number, space will allow them to get naked again.

    3 big safes? My one very limited safe seemed like the perfect choice at the time. Now I have to be creative about how I store firearms in it. It's like Thanksgiving when you have to find space in your already packed fridge for all the food your relatives bring.

    Considering the effort it took to get the one I have into the house and properly bolted in I may not add another safe. I have enough room for a few more handguns and at least one rifle or shotgun but that is about it. I got one bigger than I thought I would need, but should have gotten one 2x bigger.

    Speaking from having lived on the humid parts of the West Coast, please just don't, especially if you live in the humid parts of the Southern USAicon: the canvas could/will attract and hold moisture and rust or damage the carbine and even if it doesn't with one moments inattention the original scabbard will be ruined by rust stains bleeding through even if the weapon isn't damaged itself. Seen the latter as a gear collector many, many times. Why make yourself have to pay attention to preserving it all the time or worry about even a couple days of losing power to the equipment?
