After reading One Second After by William Forstchen (with an eye-opening Foreword by Newt Gingrich on the report congress received), the thought of what an Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP) could very realistically do to our nation's power grid & virtually...everything electronic, I've kinda had it in the back of my head to get the digital lock on my gun safe swapped out for an old-fashioned spin-dial...just never quite got around to it.
With the growing threat of a nuclear ICBM being hurled our way from the madman dictator in North Korea, I'm beginning to feel a much greater sense of urgency. Be advised, one missile, detonated from something like 20-60 miles up (?'ing my memory) would send out the pulse that would fry electronic gadgets, thereby turning our digitally locked gun safes into great big blocks o' steel. As I'm in the Pacific Northwest (kinda...Idaho), this may hit closer to home with me than say, someone in Wisconsin, but...
Just wondering if anyone else here has already EMP-proofed your gun safe by swapping out the digital lock with a spin dial, and wondering if there are others out there like me who may be similarly concerned.
