I'm pretty sure the safe isn't full of guns. Maybe it is full of money.
If my garage explodes, I'll have to reconsider whether it was full of
bullets.

I have no idea how to get the safe open. I don't even know why I bought
it, since I don't think I have anything worth putting in a safe. I
wonder if I can find a "safecracker" on Craig's List. Damn thing weighs
about 400 pounds, took four of us to get it out of my pickup truck and
into the garage.

Call local locksmith to get started. Offer 20% of whatever's in the safe.
Or more.


I second John's suggestion. Depending on model, there may be a trivial
trick to open it. They may not want you to watch.

If you are going "brute force" a diamond blade in a cut off saw will
get in there but the blade may cost more than the contents are worth,
particularly if you have to rent the saw.
Don't go for a frontal assault, the back or bottom may be the weakest
part.
Set up your phone/camera and put it on You Tube. It can be like Al
Capone's vault.

Brute force may have other consequences. Depending on the age of the safe.
Old safes had a tear gas container that would trigger under certain
conditions. Lots have a glass plate that will shatter and then a spring
releases a secondary lockup.
