Same, except ours is a walkout.
1000lb+3-400lb of guns.


I live in a small development with 4 of us who watch the neighborhood carefully.
All armed, all have confronted someone they didn't recognize around a neighbors
home. My basement entry is clearly visible from other homes, and the road.



You gotta be realistic about safes.
Very few people are ever hit by someone able and equipped to open or move a safe.
Even with knowledge and tools it takes time, and makes noise. Two things
burgers do not want. The only safes I've heard of being compromised were from
folks who lived in isolated places, and/or provided the equipment to the thieves.

A contractor who owned a farm (because being in the "country") is safe.🤣
Was on vacation when burglars hit, they used his concrete saw to open his
safe.

Our safe, and situation, leaves us in such a low risk level that my guns (in the safe)
are of zero concern. Much bigger is the concern of family walking into a burglery.



Sounds like you've got a nice cohesive group there.


Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want.

Rehabilitation is way overrated.

Composite shims are all you need to get it off the damp floor and keep it close enough to bolt it down without creating a large gap that makes it easier to remove. UHMW works well too and even hockey pucks if you don't care about bolting it down. Shims are my preferred method (slits down) as they also double for leveling. I have seen dozens of safes with serious rust issues when placed on carpet or other textile type materials.
