Safe Storage
DashOneBravo brought it up the other day and it's been on my mind. Today I notice in my email:

Not trying to spam the group, but does anyone have an opinion of these?
Thanks for any thoughts.

...I break safety and security into 5 categories.
- 1 Little or none; close the drawer, put the lawnmower in the shed and close the door.
- 2 Basic; Lock the car, lock the door to the house, use child-safe containers and security.
- 3 Serious; Layered measures that include 2 or more barriers and 1 or more types of surveillance.
- 4 Professional; Multiple barriers, alarms and backups combined with surveillance and live security. (Anything from a major bank to the White House.)
- 5 Intensive; consider the restricted area at Fort Detrick, the blast door at Cheyenne Mountain or maybe this place...
I generally consider any home security to be at 3 or less. Exactly where that should be would depend on a periodic assessment.
thanks
And, even then, the homeowner needs to sign a waiver of rights to allow police to enter the home at will to be sure it's being used correctly.
If the intent is safety for any kids in the home, I think what you have there is adequate. I wouldn't think it adequate to prevent burglars from prying it off the wall, however.
Also, looking at the size of the passport, one needs to buy the larger of the two to hold a single handgun.
After two burglaries in 2012, I decided I wanted a safe and I wanted it soon (I travel a lot). They didn't take any firearms, but did get laptops and coins.
I bought a tall safe from Harbor Freight for $299, I think it's just fine and has room for a lot of other valuables.
They have a nice variety, affordable, too bad they aren't made here.
