    It's California certified, so it's fine legally in Canada. (exceeds the Barnes decision too)
    It's a "safe" so handguns need not have trigger locks on them.

    It says 3 long guns plus 4 handguns. Presumably that's 3 hunting rifles without scopes (as opposed to an AR which is taller than a hunting rifle).
    It's ridiculously small, unless the restriction isn't what's going into it but rather that there's only one place for it to go.

    It'll come with bolt down holes.

    It's a stack on, so it's probably 12 gauge steel on the door (just over 2mm thick), and 14 gauge steel on the walls (just over 1.5mm thick). So if you hit it hard enough with a screwdriver you'll right through. The deadbolts are not well supported, making it more vulnerable to pry bars.

    I've never been fond of the electrical keypads (several failure modes), but at least this one you can replace the battery from the outside. It has an easily pickable emergency key located under the electrical keypad, near where you replace the battery. Some people use their gun safes 10 times a day, and the speed of an electrical keypad is wonderous to them. Your mileage may vary.

    Is it available in Canada?
    The $230 price is in US dollars. So 230 / 0.75 * 1.13 = $350 assuming you can fetch it. More if delivered.

    If the original poster isn't in any hurry, the Stack-On 12-Gun Safe (Canadian Tire Product #175-5890-4) is similar but obviously larger. Still small. Regular price $699 but it goes on sale a few times a year. It has a mechanical combination lock that's cheap (compared to a decent 'Sargent and Greenleaf'), but no batteries.

    Bass Pro Shop or Cabellas or another local gun store, often has several gun safes in stock. Most will be both significantly larger and more expensive. If nothing else you can find a 14 gauge steel one and poke a finger on the side to watch how little force it takes to flex.
