I was just obsessing on the question of whether my gun safes push button lock would be fried closed just when I would need it most. Any of the brain trust have an answer?
just when I would need it most
I have to politely disagree with you on the possibility of an EMP attack. I do believe that it is a threat; this is because when Iran tests' a new missile, a lot of them blow up in the air. A majority of people see this as a failure on Iran's part, because they didn't hit a target. But if you look at the requirements of a successful EMP attack, the nuke must be detonated at a specific elevation (30-120 miles) for it to be effective.Firstly, the potential for an EMP is miniscule.
Secondly, in the event of an EMP your guns aren't going to be your first, second or even fifth concern.
The problem with an EMP is it knocks a country back into the stone age and millions of people die slowly. Also people will eventually kill each other for food to survive.
BTW: Isn't a solid steel gun safe already a Faraday Cage??
I think it would be one of the safest places to be during a lightening strike, or an EMP.
