As I wrote recently, I was looking for a quick access safe in order to store a rifle in my bedroom.  I decided on an ARVault by GunVault.  When I opened the safe to prepare to hang it on my wall, I found the following warning (highlighting is mine):

"WARNING:  The manufacturers and distributors of the ARVault safe do not recommend, suggest, advise, promote or otherwise condone the ownership or use of firearms.  We at GunVault Inc. believe the decision to own or use the firearm is a serious decision that should only be made by an adult who has carefully considered the risks and benefits of such a decision."

Seriously, the makers of a gun safe, do not condone the ownership of firearms!?!  This was shocking to me and I immediately returned the safe.  When I spend money with gun makers and gun accessories, I want to spend my dollars with companies that will stand with us and support our gun rights.  Needless to say, I won't be buying any more products from GunVault.

Have you ordered your Virginia AR lower from Palmetto State Armory yet?  Not only is this a seriously sweet looking lower for your next AR build, $10 of your purchase goes to VCDL to help protect our 2nd Amendment rights in Virginia!  I ordered mine last week and can't wait to get it.

If you haven't built an AR, it is a really fun (and easy) process.  The lower is the only part of the gun that is controlled by the ATF.  So when you order your lower, you'll have to choose a local gun store to complete the transfer to you.  The rest of the parts can be bought at numerous online sites.  I'll include a picture of my first AR build below (that one used an Aero Precision lower).
