Yes, you just don’t want piles of cash , photos, and documents to self immolate in the big one. They say take pictures of pictures and documents just in case.

“If your house is burning down and bullets explode guess what the fire department will not do?”

Internet old wives tale to claim they back off. Fire departments already know the ammo results in no velocity of the bullets.

“He should come to my place and try to get past my motion sensor and Mossberg 590.”

Easy enough to do really. You’re not always home and if you are then you can die the same if they have a Mossberg 590.

If it happens it will be a small gang of juvenile delinquents or worse case a couple of meth heads. They will not spend more than about 5 minutes grabbing easy stuff. I doubt very seriously they are going to try to get into even a moderately substantial safe.

They'd rather have your x box and perhaps large led tv.

I think the best means to obtain some level of security is to get smaller safes that offer some fire protection. It keeps nosy kids or adults away from your guns, but it, of course, doesn’t stop the determined thief.

House Alarms and Cameras are cheap and can add a layered defense.

Don't forget the very large dog water bowl near the front door.

And you will open it willingly when an intruder has a gun in your four year olds ear at 3am.

If you don’t have a concrete surface you can use 3 1-2” lag bolts into wall studs and floor joists, preferably both, securing it in two directions. Mounting in a corner, with lag bolts to studs on rear and one side, plus floor joists is another option. Big plus is to hide safe behind false wall or other camouflage too.

Aye.

But those are people who want me dead, whatever the excuse.

I am a harder target than 99.9% of everyone else.

Why pick me?

Nay, they’ll pick Goober.
