Thread: Ventilation holes for a gun safe ?

Put a heater or light bulb in it to generate some heat

I do try and take the sling off till dry and often leave the gun out in front of the heat pump to air off a bit but its not always 100% dry. Also if cold, the inside of the safe and guns will pick up condensation when I open it up to a warm room, won't it ? The room it's in is usually fairly dry so air circulating through vents should gradually dry it out.

It sounds as if a few people use light bulbs or heaters in their safes. Wouldn't that need some ventilation too or else you just end up with warm moist air inside if it's sealed shut ?

I'm wondering about holes weakening the safe or giving grip for someone trying to rip it off the wall.
