OP this is why you might consider not keeping all of your firearms in one location and have several different hiding places both in your home and elsewhere.
This is not from the perspective of being an anti-government wacko. This is just from the perspective of being cautious. My one uncle was a career LEO in the local city force. I remember him keeping a few firearms at grandpa's house and a few at my mom's house for safekeeping. Now he was never robbed but if he had been, they would only have gotten a few of his firearms and not the majority of them at one location. Of course, to do this you need some people that you can totally trust to safeguard your firearms and that live in safe, secure locations. I am just saying that this worked for my uncle back then in our little city. |

No monitored alarm?
Enough time to cut the safe open? Seems like he could have done a better job of securing that $200K in stuff with a few thousand dollars in security. Thieves don't stick around when there's an alarm blaring, and when the cops are on the way. Still sucks that it happened to him. Hopefully he'll learn and improve his security. |

I'm guessing that anyone who has "hours" of time at their disposal will find a way to get into your safe. It didn't take hours to do that damage to that safe. Not anywhere close. To get real protection you need to spend about $7000-$10,000 or more. And even those are only rated to withstand a 30 minute attack with proper demo tools (diamond saw, torch, drill etc.) You can spend far less than that. And although the rating is only 30 minutes, it's 30 minutes of worst case scenario. Many home burglars don't have the tools, knowledge, or experience to give a safe the same run that UL does. There are many 30 minute safes out there that would last a lifetime against your typical residential burglar. |

I really don't understand some people. If you have that much money at stake,
1). Get a decent safe. Sturdy, a Fort Knox, etc. it's a few thousand...so what? 2). Get a monitored security system. Not that expensive 3). Install an HD camera system, with remote backup. A few hundred dollars and 4). Maintain insurance on all of it. $200k in coverage from someplace like Historic firearms will run you a little over $1000/year. Do all that and you can blab about where you are and what you've got to your heart's content (you shouldn't). Your stuff isn't going anywhere at that point and the insurance means you can't get hurt. |

No, it's a rather funny way to say that people should really stop posting everything that they do online because it's a wealth of fucking information that can be used against you in so many ways. People "check in" where they are at...well......if you are a hour away from home and one of your "friends" wants your stuff.....they know you aren't there to stop them from taking it. It's like anti-opsec. I don't get it. Post about it AFTER, but before/during? yeah, don't do that shit. |
