I'd prefer if it were fire-resistant too.
Two points:

Be very careful storing firearms in any fire resistant safe. Most inexpensive fire resistant safes use insulations that contain high levels of moisture. This will create a very humid condition within the safe, and can rust your firearms. On another forum, one of the members was given a Sentry fire resistant safe. They placed a hygrometer inside the safe over night, and it detected over 80% humidity.

Also, most inexpensive fire rated safes are simply a fire box with a privacy latch. They may look like a safe, but do not have the same features found in other safes designed to prevent burglary. These safes are great for protecting paperwork, but should not be used to store valuables.
