I was watching a YouTube video about how easy it was to break into a gun safe. He used an angle grinder to cut off the side. Got me to wonder, does anyone have any real life experience where a gun safe saved the day when someone broke into their home? Seems like most home break ins are quick grab and runs. Some one would have to know you had a bunch of guns and have a plan to open it, knowing how long you would be away and be quiet enough to not alert any neighbors. That all seems pretty remote to me. I can see keeping kids and grand kids from getting there hands on something but I don't think you need a thousand pound safe to do that. I know safety from fire is another consideration but again, how heavy does it need to be to accomplish that.
