"He can override the security features from his cellphone to allow access."


All that money spent and there's the backdoor to render it useless.

Throughout my years with Dallas PD, I dealt with a number of wealthy complainants/crime victims who’d just been held up at gun or knifepoint, or had their homes or vehicles burglarized or expensive cars stolen. Some were high-profile people who often were pictured in D Magazine or hoity-toity Highland Park/University Park publications, and had kids who went to the best private schools.

The common thread with many of these folks was that they were shocked and in disbelief that even with their wealth, security precautions, and, in some cases, bodyguards, they could be victimized.

I hope this family stays safe.

I dunno. If one is going to dream, why not level up to something like the place Frank mentioned with four panic rooms?

And if you’re going to build a range, why not at least 50 yards? A friend’s dad (and former state bullseye champ for a couple years) built one in Ventura with culvert pipe coming off his basement. At the end, he had a spiral concrete trap that his daughters got sent into periodically to bring the lead out in buckets so he could melt it down and recast it. Targets ran back and forth on a string pulley. The things one could do when they had their own heavy equipment company and the planning and building folks weren’t nearly so intrusive as they are now…

What do they do for backup power? How about fire proofing? I’d imagine any perp outside the panic room would cut the power to the house, or perhaps burn it down around you.

Depending upon the conern of the owner there are solutions for all of these issues. In some cases there are even backups for the backups for the backups. When money is no object, the sky is the limit.

True, but folks don’t always think about that. Heck, I didn’t put in the transfer switch and pigtail to plug into my 10KW diesel powered arc welder until the propane backup generator to our offgrid solar house decided to take a powder. Sure, were I doing it all over again I’d have built in more backups from the start, but sometimes one has to learn by doing…

sigfreund, I have about that many just stashed in hidden places in my house because they won't fit into the safe. (I need a second safe, or to sell off some guns.)
