A locksmith? Ha! I work for an armoured car company, so I get to see a lot of nice safes. You'd be surprised at how much money a few companies are willing to spend on security. I've been to two just after the police served a search warrant. In one case the person who knew the combination wasn't there, so the police had a tow truck driver take a grinder to the safe. In the second, they wouldn't let the owner open it for them, and they also ruined the safe. My advise, if you really think the police are going to want to get into it, is to buy enough of a safe to deter burglars, but not one so expensive that you can't afford to replace it. After all, if the police want a safe open, it's going to happen, and they will probably ruin it in the process. Better advise would be to keep your less valuable weapons in an easy to find (cheap) safe, like a Wal Mart gun cabinet, and hide your better safe.z
