Important information for all gun owners in Germany!
In a recent ruling of the OVG NRW (Germany) of 30.08.2023 it was decided:
Keys for a gun safe must be stored in a safe of value with at least an equivalent security standard!
In order to comply with the judgement, BURG-WÄCHTER recommends a safe of the Magno E series with resistance grade 0 for the storage of a gun cabinet key (resistance grade 0).
In general, the current German Weapons Act requires a gun cabinet with at least resistance grade 0 for the storage of weapons.
