There must be something other than easy access to drive them to use a gun, eh? Efficiency. The same reason Harry has had an assault rifle of some sort for as long as I can remember. 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, plastic soda bottles, and paper targets. No kids or crazed 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. 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. |
