[QUOTE="Aries, post: 3309557, member: 44328"] The thing about any kind of security is you probably can't make anything absolutely secure. So you're trying to improve your odds. If you leave your gun laying outside in the driveway, someone passing by will easily take it. It's just a matter of time. If you keep it inside your house, you protect it from passersby, but someone intent on breaking in and going through your stuff can still get it. If you put it in a safe, you prevent the rumagers, but someone who knows or thinks you might have a safe can open it with tools, planning, and enough time. If you have a heavy duty, reinforced safe, it will take someone with more knowledge, better tools, and even more time. If you could build a bank vault, there are people who can get into those too, but they are even more rare. So get the best you can afford, understanding that it may not ABSOLUTELY prevent someone from stealing your stuff, but the harder you make it the better your odds of protecting it. Most of the time, someone is not going to stay in your house 30 minutes generating a lot of noise to open a safe, so while it may not be perfect it's better than hiding it under the bed. It's way better than leaving it in the driveway. :) [/QUOTE]
