AR34F Tactical Gun safe
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBnLS840h5E
I have seen that before. Now part of the trick is they have to be able to get it on its back and they have to have room to leverage the bars. This is a good reason to have the safe securely attached to concrete. :)Quote:

That's why I only buy gun cabinets with glass panel doors. [Smart]
I have been drooling over that AR34 safe since it came out. Its "tacticool". [M2]Quote:

Its not really that hard. Two or three people can lift one into the back of a pickup truck. You just leverage it on the tailgate not pick it straight up. You can use an appliance dolley or you can put golf balls underneath and roll on top of them over flat ground.Quote:

2-Secure it to the structure. In a wood frame you really only have 2 choices, lag it to structural beams or if you have access below, get some long u-bolts made and go around floor joists. In concrete you can RedHead them down.
3-Alarm the safe itself. Just a cheap tilt or motion sensor hooked up to a LOUD siren works wonders.
4-Make it as heavy as possible. False flooring the safe and putting in lead ingots or similar will quickly add 300# or so to it.
5- Strengthen the doorframe of the safe. Most safes are just formed sheet steel. A little inginuity with 1/4" bar stock or angle will really make it vitrtually impossible to pry one open. It doesnt matter if you have 1' locking bolts all the way around if the frame is flimsy 14 gauge.
Theives suck[M2]
Just put one of these in there. ;)Quote:

We have built a couple of safes, and we once did a job for a gentleman that had a large collection of something ( he said rare wines and collectables)
the door we installed weighed 4200+/- lbs. He had a room with 2' thick walls poured and we reinforced this with StSt and angle. was a beautiful site when I got done.
Back to the safes, if we build them you can't get in.
its pretty common sense to only buy a high quality gun safe....and not a cheap ass one from walmart.
Hey you are offending the Obamanites here,, Walmart is a Shrine...

Thanks for posting this video, I have been thinking of a safe for a little while, I for sure was not going to get one from wally world, this showed me to save a little more money for one.
One thing the vid didnt mention is that it would take the only 45 seconds to just dolly the whole thing out.
x2 on bolting to the floor.
How about a mini gun sentry defense?
