Buy an American made Liberty Safe or Safes and be done with it.
The Author of this articles sells very expensive, light weight gun “cabinets” and is trying to convince you that they are more secure than a traiditional gun safe.
Truth is any safe will only stop “smash and grab” or semi-pro thieves.
A professional thief or a 4 member gang banger team is going to get into anything.
That’s why having a hiding place that they can’t find is better than any safe.
Liberty safes are RSC's the same as most other brands. They are not UL rated burglary safes.
The problem here is not just consumer knowledge. The problem is real safes are VERY expensive and VERY heavy compared to RSC's. Most people simply can't afford or do not want to spend the money to purchase a true safe. Real safes large enough to hold long guns start in the 3k plus range with most closer to 5k or more. Then installing a 2500 lb or more safe is very expensive and difficult. For most people RSC's are the only practical option and nearly all the popular names offer only RSC's, even though the quality varies greatly.
Did you read the part where it included Liberty Safes in the same category?
I have a Liberty. Not really concerned about it surviving a huge fire, so I don’t care.

that’s what i did decades ago ... only way to open it for ordinary thieves without combo is with a cutting torch ... it’s highly fire-resistant as well ... discourage torch thieves with a sticker on the side that says “Danger: Contains Explosives” ...
