Thinking about getting a safe again.
What do you have? safe? vault? bunker - wouldn't that be cool!
I'm thinking maybe a Fort Knox safe will do. What do you think?

Thats the same safe I have, Iam thinking of putting on a keypad, the combination dial system is to complex for me to remember.

This one was made by Sun Valley Safe Co. in Simi Valley.  It has 3/16 steel all around, fire lined, 72x40x28, 1300lbs. and 18 active locking bolts.  Liked the Liberty and the Fort Knoz, but this one offered most of the same qualities for about a grand less.

Went with the dial as the keypad was an extra 150 bucks that I really didn't have and I'm not in and out of my safe all the time.

I went with the ez out interior and I am already almost out of room.  So much for those shelves on the left. [rolleyes]

American Security (Amsec) "Armory" firelined TL-30 safe in another area of the house:

I love the AMSEC.  (it weighs 3900lbs. empty and we bolted both of them down and heavily alarmed them and have CCTV cameras aimed at them w/ time-lapse recording)

Ratters,  I guess you move the fridge, not the safe, to repair the hot water heater.

Rbad,  TL safe, very nice.

Btw, Remember to keep a flashlight OUTSIDE the safe.  

I'll have to find a pic of my safe.  It was on photopoint...

Actually... I am a total slob.  My wife keeps everything organized because she keeps her jewelry in it..  I can't figure out how to get her to vacuum though!!

RBAD, the reason your safe looks so clean, is because it's practically EMPTY!!
It's supposed to look like this inside:

7- Yeah, the freezer actualy moves pretty easily.

Treetop- You just have to keep ramming it down all our throats don't you. [:)] Well, at least I can show my wife that I'm not "that" bad.

My Armory of course.... Well sort of my toy room. I have one bedroom of my two room apartment sealed. Homemade bars on the windows, steel security shutters, A commercial fire door/jam built into the wall. It isn't quite as good as a safe, but it was much cheaper. I figure it would take about an hour and a TON of effort to gain entry. Besides if I leave my guns out of my 99 dollar WALMART safe I don't worry all day at work. The safe would be easier to break in to, even with it bolted to the wall and a 90lbs bag of concrete in the bottom. Well it is a poor boys solution!!!

Be careful with the secure room.  Have been a number of robberies where the BG's just went through the sheet rock walls.

But please take note of 2 things:

1.  McUZI has about 100 times the amount of guns that I do.

2.  The picture was taken when my wife was shopping.  She would have cried if she saw the oily mess that I made out her dining room table.[spank]

Who's safe is that?  It can't be yours because, judging by your past pics, your guns would fill up a national guard armory!

It's my old one, but it wouldn't hold everything. Of course there's more now, but your handgun collection puts mine to SHAME.
Sweet pics, RBAD!

And just think.... I don't even live in a free state!  Every one of those handguns required me to obtain a pistol purchase permit which takes 1-5 months to obtain.

Good thing we're moving to Florida to live with McUZI!

(3) safe's.All 5-600 #'s each and all permanently bolted to 4-500 #'s of concrete slabs in a locked and alarmed room.
Spread them out and make them work for them. I  figure that even if someone gets through one they'll never go through the work for another for such a small haul.

I have 5 safes, I wish I just had one really large one, but it didnt work out that way.
