Gun Safe Questions

[racedoll]

Yes, another "gun" question on a bike forum, go figure... it's winter in Ohio and I have nothing better to do than wish. Wish for more money so I can afford everything I want.

Anyway, what are the pros and cons of a composite door. Liberty and Heritage seem to the two popular brands of safes sold at the local store. The Liberty have a composite door where the Heritage does not.

Just wondering thoughts on this....

Given the knowledge base of the average thief, I don't think it matters. There aren't many people who can break into a half-way decent safe, without dragging it into the woods first.

Anything heavy, that's attached to your house, (bolted to the floor, studs, foundation...) will probably be there when you get home.

Agreed, anything that locks and can't leave your house is good. If someone is motivated enough to get into any gun safe then you really have no way of stopping them, and you're probably already dead, or not going to stop them anyway. Save your money for bullets

This. Get something reasonable and bolt it down to the floor...good enough. I don't know you but I doubt that you're rich enough to merit world class safe-crackers breaking into your house...

Thread jack ! Anyone have one of those little ones that reads your fingerprints? Not for thieves but for safety reasons. Are they decent?

The safest gun safes are the ones thieves don't recognize as a safe. One of the most elegant solutions I have seen is a wal mart metal gun locker with a industrial breaker handle bolted to it and a couple of pieces of conduit running in and out. bolted to a wall. IT doesn't announce there is something in here worth stealing traditional safes do.
We do have one of the little fingerprints units. It is a cheapo lock box with a slightly more sophisticated lock it works most of the time. It runs on batteries so if you don't change the batteries you are left to look for the key, Which is a bitch cause to to quote Col Cooper " You very rarely need a a gun but when you do you need it Very Badly"

Gas not sure which one you want a link to. The "Breaker box" gun locker is at my brother in laws house, (He is in WV ) He built it from the parts I described. If you mean the finger print unit I will grab link for one this weekend when I hit the gun show.
