Do you trust StackOn safes?

Are they all this bad?

LPL can open anything in like a minute or less, nothing is safe. I had to buy a set of picks because of him, some locks are surprisingly easy to open.

Much like gun laws, this stuff keeps honest people honest.

You could probably get my gun box open with a screwdriver, it's mainly so someone couldn't just walk off with my gun.

That is what the claymore and tripwire are for.

Anything less than a Sturdy Safe or a Zanotti Armor might as well be a wood cabinet with a glass door... which is why I have a wood cabinet with a glass door.

Cheap "safes" available locally are thin gauge sheet-metal wrapped around sheetrock for "fire resistance" and the false appearance of metal thickness.

It’s better than nothing.....

I’d take a job box over a stack on any day. Just wouldn’t lock it with a master locks.

I have a fire safe for my important documents that I never bother to lock.

I did my due diligence by making a reasonable effort to secure my firearms. Even though some 'gun safes' can be breached, I bought mine to keep honest people honest, and kids safe. So it's more likely that the insurance company would honor a replacement claim, as well as being harder to be found at fault if my guns were stolen.

Good point, I forgot about those... IF you lock your cutting, drilling, and prying tools in a job box, a second job box for your guns is is probably where you could legitimately claim that you are making a real effort to secure your guns and not just putting on a show for the bed-wetting anti-2A crowd.
