guns

I have a flimsy Amazon safe and Harbor Freight wall mount at camp, not much in those though, simple deterrents. Anyone with a crowbar and 20 minutes can get in.

At home I have a flimsy safe hidden in the closet, and another Harbor Freight wall mount. Again, they're only deterrents.

In each case, they're mounted to studs with monster lag screws. Good enough for me. Not worried about a pro cat burglar, just want to keep the smash-and-grab thieves and my kids out.

Found an interesting safe in the neighbor's trash last month! Brand new! Single handgun safe that mounts under the desk and pops open with a PIN (and key of course). Colt .45 lives there.

I'll catch hell for this, but there's a single-shot 12-gauge hanging over the front door, shells in the side saddle. Actually jumped for that one night when a pit bull was chasing my pig up and down the fence, also had my little kids in the house and a only a huge dog door keeping him out. 🎶 Bailed outside, pointed my weapon, just as I thought, the fool kept steppin'. 🎵 Turned out to be a friendly pup running away from his little family walking down the street. What a relief! I laughed with the couple, told 'em, "ALL GOOD NO WORRIES!"
