Re: Gun safe thoughts/advice

I bought a used Liberty safe from a local vendor. They delivered it for a reasonable fee. I stuck it in a nook where it is surrounded by three walls - fits like a glove. It's roughly 1,000 lbs as it sits, and very bottom heavy. If they can rip it out of my house and somehow fit it through a door - there would be enough damage that I could file a home owners claim and still make out ahead.

I don't see pro thief coming into my house anytime soon. I'd love to have a neat looking safe from Sturdy or similar but at 2-3x what I spent on my used Liberty, it's just not in the cards.

FWIW, I bought 3x bigger than I needed, and now need to remove the shelves on one side to fit the guns I had not anticipated. Don't underestimate the growth.

ETA - I did not bolt mine down either. If they can manage to take it out, without serious injury, they can give it a go. I don't see my German Shepherd giving them much time.
