Yup. Say the gun safe is in a bedroom or a closet, you could put the sensor on the bedroom or closet door, but that would generate false alerts.
If you put the sensor on the outside of the cabinet, it could just be removed. Tape the two halves of the sensor together and pry them off. As long as they don’t separate, it wouldn’t trigger.
You can do this with most DIY alarm systems. Mount a door sensor inside the cabinet, triggers when opened.
Useful for liquor cabinets too.

I’d think the trick with a gun cabinet is they’re metal and you’d have to find some way to maintain connectivity when closed.
Couldn’t you put the sensor on the outside?
Or better yet, if the gun safe is in its own area with a door to separate it, put the sensor on that door
