There are many people across the world that have guns, but very few that know anything more than just pulling the trigger. A gun is a lot more than this and as such great care should be taken to ensure that you are not endangering your life or other people's lives due to lack of knowledge in certain aspects. At all times you need to take great care to properly store, load and unload your guns. This article focuses on metal gun cases, but all gun owners can benefit from the information.
The protection a gun case can provide is limited to the way you use it, and price is not the most important consideration when buying a gun case. The cheaper a certain type of material the easier it will be for it to succumb to wear and tear over time. Examine the case before you buy it to determine if the finish is electroplating or common.
Common sense tells you that you need to hold the ammunition you have in your gun case with the gun. Many people believe that for safely reasons they should not store their ammunition in the same place as they are storing their guns, but the plain truth about this is that such a decision is just the same as trying to hit a burglar that is holding a machine gun with a baseball bat coming from a frontal direction-you are bound to lose if there is an emergency and you need to act fast to save either your life or the life of someone else.
Of course this is not a hard rule, and will depend the situation that you are in. While metal gun cases tend to be resistant against break-in attempts, there are cases in which you may want to store the ammunition far from where the actual gun is-if children are involved you need to separate the gun and the ammo.
Never point a loaded gun in your direction when you are trying to clean it. This might sound really stupid to professional gun users, but you will be surprised how many people actually remove a loaded gun from a metal gun case with the intention to clean the gun. Whether they innocently forget to unload the gun or just could not bother to go through the hassle or unloading and loading it again is not really the issue-the issue is that you should never try to clean a loaded gun.
