You need the safe to store your wasp spray.

No really, it is kind of reassuring when you are not home to be able to lock up your guns——unless you take all of them with you——ammo, passports, cameras, jewelry, money, stamps, extra checks or other valuables. A fire liner is good and if you have someones kids over it can keep them out of mischief.

Of course, they can be breached or potentially carried off but it causes some discouragement amongst the typical smash and grabs yutes.

I'm against safes, simply because I grew up as a child, around loaded guns.
But that's just me.
An unloaded gun will get the owner killed, just as quickly as a gun locked in a safe will.
Most intruders today are armed.
And you can't ask Mr Burglar/Rapist to wait for you to unlock and load your gun.
