[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 768763, member: 39801"] Sidecar, I always enjoy your posts. Talk about a contrarian position on gun safes. Bunch of fooey? That is awesome. I think your line of thought has some merit, and I might very well be an idiot, but here is my counter: The odds of a skilled theif pulling an Oceans-11 style heist on my house are pretty low. Most of the B&Es we hear about (I'm in SE MI also) are meth heads, transients and general losers looking to grab some stuff quick and split. With my alarm screaming they are likely not going to work on my safe, and they sure as hell aint getting it upstairs! My other big concern with unsecured guns are them being used against me or my family when we come home. Again, good thief pulls a caper he is getting my goodies and getting the hell out. A loser meth-head transient may stack my guns up around himself, make a sandwich, and then space and fall asleep on my couch. When my wife wakes him up coming home I'd end up bummed . . . As far as fire, I'd have to agree. Rather be insured than insulated. Guns are finicky enough without having them cook in an oven for a few hours at below-melting temp. [/QUOTE]
