I decided on a Sturdy safe. I'm going large 48x24x60. Will be located on an outside corner of an add on closet. Concrete floor single story home. Wood frame with studs. Bolted down with the right hand side against the wall.
This will make ax attacks real difficult unless a BG happens to be left handed.
My question concerns the optional fire proofing. Its about $670 extra and i lose a bit of interior volume. Like others have pointed out in a bad fire more than likely guns will be toast, no pun intended. I know, I too have seen photos of interiors that have survived a full on fire where home was burned to the ground however I'm not sold on the protection.
I'm thinking wood frame, outside wall I suppose my safe would stand a better chance than others which are interior location.
.
I am so sick and tired of looking. it's worse than buying a new car!!
So I suppose the question is; do I drop $600 + for protection that may work or just let my ins. policy deal with it in the event of a fire?
I will keep a dedicated "fire safe" in the sturdy to hold documents.
Thanks.
