If I am coming for your guns, I'll stop by Harbor Freight and pickup a angle grinder and a stack of cutting wheels. That's like a master key for nearly every safe mentioned in this thread.
At my house, there's no less than 5 angle grinders and 3 reciprocating saws. Maybe I need a safe to keep them in...lol
If you look at the pic of my safe, notice the two, very large and thick hinges on the safe. How long realistically, do you think it would take for an angled grinder to grind thru those hinges?
I’m no angled grinder expert, but I would say it would take a professional thief, who wouldn’t be there in the first place, 20 minutes on the low side and the typical Meth addict, 45 minutes to an hour on the high side? So at least a 30 minute average for stud or stupid thief?
This is why one needs to depend on several different options that will layer and work together to keep our stuff safe.
Beginners who go camping, may take only one single type of means to start a fire. While experienced campers take magnesium sticks or flint, waterproof matches and a Bic lighter? Expert preparer’s might even bring along a bunch of lighter fluid.
If it gets cold, wet, ugly and scary enough when I’m camping, I’ll set the whole damn woods on fire in order to stay warm and survive.
