I hope the garage doesn't face the street or other houses, or if it does that you never open the garage door.
Unless you have a way to conceal the gun safe.
I was going to say that a garage is probably better than a storage unit, but that is obviously not true if anybody at all knows it's in the garage.

Mine has a big sticker that says,
"Warning!!! This Safe contains Black Powder!!! The use of a cutting torch will result in an explosion / death!!!" Those signs deter thieves like the beeping horns on a car in the parking lots. Thieves laugh, then go ahead with their theft... They won't be laughing if they try it on mine. The Garage safe has all the Goex and ammo in it. I hope you don't have a house fire, you won't feel so clever if you blow up the fire fighters. How hot does powder in a safe have to get before ignition, vs the heat that the safe will recieve

I had 2 safes in the garage in lower SE Alabama for 6 years. Lows maybe high teens in winter, summer high 90's. Humid as crap most of the year. Golden Rod in each safe. No rust on anything. If tools aint gonna rust sitting in the garage with no dehumidifier, cant see where oiled guns in a safe will either.

Powder plus safe equals bomb, because the pressure gets really high before the safe lets go. That's probably why it's against the law to keep powder in a safe, but OK in a wood box.
Wonder if homeowner's insurance is good if you blow up your own house? You can get another gun (if you don't go down for murdering the burglars with a booby trap) but a new house costs money.
Not my business, just thinking out loud.

The Garage safe has all the Goex and ammo in it. It's not smart to keep explosives in strong closed containers You have one huge BOMB sitting there
One shot, one kill........ It saves a lot of ammo!

EVERYBODY knows already. No, they don't, unless you happen to think the OP has given a real name and location

I hope you don't have a house fire, you won't feel so clever if you blow up the fire fighters. If I ever have a house fire, my house and any ensuing explosions will be done long before the Firefighters ever arrive. Our Ranch house sets over a mile off from the nearest County Road and over 20 miles from a town with a Fire Dept. No worries for Firemen.

I'm in Wyoming and have one in my unheated shop. I have a goldenrod heater in it and a few packs of desiccant.
No issues at all.

My brother in law stores his this way in Mississippi (high humidity) and they seem to be doing fine. He has a dehumidifier rod in it but that's it.
