    I saw only one gun safe in my 2 weeks of helping clean up. I think it started out about the size of a liberty fatboy, but when we found it, it was a 1.5ft tall blob of metal that had completely melted. We had to borrow a neighbor's bobcat to dig it out and lift it. The owner just had us throw it straight in the dumpster with the bobcat. Owner recalled that it had a "2 hour" fire rating. The ash and debris filling the foundation of his house was still hot in some spots 3 days after he was allowed back in.

    Anyway, back to metals of the precious variety...

    "When law and morality contradict each other, the citizen has the cruel alternative of either losing his moral sense or losing his respect for the law." -Frederic Bastiat

    "I am a conservative. Quite possibly I am on the losing side; often I think so. Yet, out of a curious perversity I had rather lose with Socrates, let us say, than win with Lenin."
