Just so, do gun safes depreciate in value?

Avoid Depreciation If you've ever bought a new car, you might have heard that the minute you drive it off the lot that it depreciates in value by around 20 percent. This is also true for safes, so consider how long-term you will need one to help determine your level of investment.

Similarly, how much do used guns depreciate? I've found that a used gun will generally be worth somewhere between 50-75% of what a comparable new version sells for. Some budget guns will continue to drop in value eventually being far below that 50% range, while some better quality guns will maintain more than the 75% number.

Also to know, is it worth owning a gun?

If you don't plan to take a firearms training course and then follow-up with periodic target practice, you should really think twice or thrice about even owning a firearm. Preferably, rent and try out different guns at a gun range offering the course before you make a purchase. Never, ever buy a gun because it's cheap!
