Entry Level Gun Safe @ Costco

[MNGunner]

Here is food for thought.

A lock only keeps an honest person honest.
A thief will take it weather its locked or not.

A safe be it a 500 costco special or a 5000 fort knox is just gonna slow a thief down. If they really want it, they are gonna take it. Nothing you can do about it.

With the exception that your average random burglar, a meth head or an urban punk with it's pants already hanging down is very unlikely to arrive prepared to deal with either, and the better the protection, the less likely it is that he's going to be able to "engineer" a solution on-site.

Even a stack on wouldn't likely get opened on site. So a stack on connected to studs would suffice in 90 percent or better of burglaries is my guess.

My fear with a stack on would be that it could get pried off and then carried/dragged out and might fit inside a vehicle, but I guess the same concerns apply to a Costco RSC also...

Of course a burglar will find in my garage a cutting torch, plasma cutter, angle grinder & cutting disks, so...

So they will sue you after they hurt themselves using tools they don't know how to use.

An alternative is to disguise your safe as something else. I used to have my Stack On painted to look the same as my home's breaker box, I bolted the safe next to it, put some fake conduit going into the safe, and stuck some "Danger - High Voltage" stickers on it. The house was broken into, burglarised, and the safe was never touched.

Now I have it behind a false wall in a closet, surrounded by fireprooof drywall, as the house I am in now did not allow it to be mounted in the the same type breaker box location.

Here is another disguise.

Even a plain side by side refrigerator works pretty well and is pretty fireproof.
