Home Defense AR Safe

[Irving]

Why do you feel you need anything more than a glorified stack-on for only two guns?

That sorta begs the question. Perhaps they're expensive guns? Perhaps I want some semblance of deterrence and/or fire protection, also. But, I've wrestled with that very question.

but why wouldn't you want to provide the same level of protection for 1 or 2 home defense guns at the ready versus the rest of your collection?

I think I'm under the impression that non-commercial safes are all pretty much glorified stack-ons. If you can cut through the side with a grinder, it doesn't really matter how many thick metal posts are in the door, or how much it weighs. Also, I'm not sure how I feel about a 30 minute fire rating. Running through the scenarios of a house fire where a safe is subjected to only 30 minutes of an intense fire before being put out seems about as statistically low as a house fire in the first place.

I'm not trying to talk anyone out of having a large safe, especially if they have nice guns (I certainly do NOT), but it seems to me that a dedicated home defense gun isn't going to be rare, or irreplaceable. If there is a larger safe somewhere else in the house to hold nicer guns, then even less of a reason for something fancy for immediate access.
