Knives and clubs still kill about 2200 a year vs a few hundred for
rifles.


I engage in the wholesale slaughter of empty beer and soda cans,

right-wing rec.boaters are going to get their hands on my rifles
unless they blow up or carry out my 800-pound safe that is
through-bolted to concrete.


Unless it's a tiny safe, you don't own a safe. Mine is just over
1500lbs.


You are *the* ignorant asshole on rec.boats, Alex. I have a Liberty
Safe, a decent brand. It measures 66.5" x 36" x 32", and adequately
stores my small collection of firearms, and much more. I was wrong
about the weight...it weighs 900+ pounds. It is a real safe.

Go pound sand.


Bad buy...

Harry is a high volume dealer but he never has a lot of inventory in
his floor plan. A small safe works for him.
BTW have you ever seen how long the typical "gun safe" holds up to a
determined thief with modern tools?
A diamond blade in a $20 Harbor Fright circular saw will slice through
the side or back of these things in a few minutes. A regular "metal"
cutting carbide blade will defeat most of them.
It is noisy and dusty but effective on just about anything but 1/4"
armor plate. Most are 16ga up to 12ga steel with some kind of cement
board or even fire code drywall between layers.

Well, then, no reason to buy a safe, eh? Because in your world, nothing
can be done about anything. The safe I have uses 11-gauge steel,
whatever that is.

11 ga steel is just over 1 tenth of an inch thick. Not much thicker than
the steel in a file cabinet. Hope that makes you feel secure.

Actually 11ga is .125" and really thick for a typical gun safe. File
cabinets are usually 18-20ga and cheap ones less than that.
The "security" Steelcase ones we had at IBM were 18ga. The regular
ones were 20ga as I recall (it may be 16/18). I have a regular one
back in the shop I keep my ammo in. I suppose I could check it.
The difference is just how fast the cut goes tho. If someone is
serious and brings a 14" cutoff saw, 1/4" steel is going down pretty
fast. It really just depends on how much they want your guns and if
they know they are there in the first place. Big safes, usually mean
lots of valuable guns.
Harry may be attracting unnecessary attention to his modest collection
;-)
