i have to thank some of you for a chuckle. the nanner nanner i can defeat your plywood with a chainsaw and your concrete with a jackhammer . oh ya....well i can just shoot you like indiana jones.
there are a few facts. everything can be broken into if someones intent on doing so. security measures are to create time or effort in breaching said security. making it take too long too much energy or too uncomfortable on would be intruders. probably most importantly is peace of mind for the homeowner.
building a safe room, storm shelter, panic room, man traps or even building in a ways that takes security and response to threats into account are all prudent measures. lots of people are including the 1/2 inch steel safe capsules in their new home or remodel. they are big enough for the family, say 10 ft x 10 ft and secured in a way they will stay if the house takes a direct hit from a tornado. its better than watching your kids being blown away cause the couldnt hold on to you in the closet.
if i ever build a house from scratch i will have at the very minimum a safe room or storm shelter built in. it will be minimum of grouted block or better yet cast concrete section foundation type construction. i want a place for my family to go if endangered and im not there. i want a place that will stand up to a tornado even if the rest of the house is spread of the state. i want a place for securing weapons and supplies for a bug in situation. i want it just because i do. the point is not to find every way to tear apart ones ideas or thoughts but to productively discuss and grow them. who cares if your dad can beat up his dad.
most burglars wont be prepared to get thru double 3/4" plywood reinforced walls and a properly hung fire door. just as thats true some burglars show up with a plasma cutter to cut thru your vault door you bought at that surplus auction with a dream of having a vault in your home. you prepare the best you can and go with it.
i know it was just about a safe but thats the thing about discussions....they evolve.
