safe & sound |
That's because there's a huge difference between real safes and gun safes. 
I opened a Browning recently that had been in a fire. Took me about 1 minute with an angle grinder. About 3 minutes total if you want to include the time it took me to make my way to and from the safe through the debris. | |||

There are a couple of gun safes on local display that are beat up but intact. They were bolted down and were the only thing left standing when our infamous tornados completely blew away the houses, down to the bare concrete foundations. Obviously it was a great advertising move to give the owners new safes after these disasters. | |||

Precisely. This is why I have one. I want to make it too hard to get the guns quickly. My collection isn't valuable enough for me to need to make it nearly impossible. I'd like a "real" old safe because they are cool and I could really integrate one into my office decor; not because I need one.

A coworker got a frantic call from his wife that one of her 3 Yorkies had run off. She had been walking/driving the neighborhood and wanted him to come home from work to help. He owned two very large safes, one of which he shared with the wife for documents and jewelry. He knew she had been going to their tax attorney earlier and asked if she had opened the safe. Sure enough, when she opened the safe to check, out popped a little doggie! | |||

What about a door to a room you keep your guns in, any ideas there? I have a Slage electronic deadbolt on the door to my workroom, which keeps out the child, but the door would be destroyed in a heartbeat by anyone with intent. Of course, I have a security system and cameras too, but have been thinking about ideas to upgrade the door. | |||

while working at a gun store in L.A. , we always kept the guns in the safes at night, then after putting the guns out for display , we would lock the safes up during the day ( empty) I thought it was curious because people should be able to see inside. a month or so later, a big box major retailer had a kid lock his little sister in one of their display safes.

I was listening to a pod cast. A first responder was talking about how he showed up to a fire. Fire was out but was walking around picking up body parts from some sort of explosion. Then realized there were two left arms. Two knuckle heads cut into a safe with a torch. But the owner was a ameteur /pro fire work guy on the side. Stored all his BIG fireworks in the safe.

This^^^ My thoughts are to buy the best you can afford in the hopes of deterring the crackheads, I mean thieves enough to move on to an easier target. I'll share this from a customer as I usually don't hear much like this firsthand. Be sure and bolt all safes down.

| No Compromise |
Agreed. As I said, go back in time and tell that to me when I bought the thing. Doesn't really matter, since the key is locked inside. H&K-Guy | |||

Now I have something else to think about! I have an Amsec BF7250, I'm not going to tell the wife about this new phobia, she will have it worse. I like to think my safe keeps crackheads fro. Being able to hurt others with my guns. ___________________________ "I Get It Now" Beth Greene | |||

| Stupid Allergy  |
I bought the best Ft. Knox safe I could afford a couple of years ago and it’s bolted down. With a monitored alarm with cameras, a German Shepherd and living in the city with a short LEO response...I don’t worry excessively. Sure I wish there were even more steel in it, but realistically the alarm would be going off and I could see what was going on with hidden cameras. What else can you do??

20 minutes is a very long time for someone to be making the noise of a grinder and cut off wheel to get into a safe......I live in a neighborhood, so it buys a lot of time.......for someone to call the police. | |||
