Deception in all its forms have thwarted the schemes of evil men for ages.

I was joking....I need to start using emotion con's lol.

Also, a 30 LBS silver door stop is awsome. But I'm afraid somebody might take it even if they think it's scrap.

 

Nothing is a 100%, but out in the open has worked many times before.

 

I highly suggest safety deposit boxes, $30 a year is dirt cheap, and the chance of it being stolen from the bank are way lower than your house being robbed!

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

One of the classic movies from the late 196o's with a tremendous amount of movie stars in it.

Nearly every one of them are long gone - Spence Tracy, Phil Silvers, the 3 Stooges, Ethel Merman, Andy Devine, Joe E. Brown, Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, "Rochester". Jim Backus, Peter Falk, Buster Keaton, Jimmy Durante, Jack Benny, plus others I can't remember or don't know if they are gone.

All these hiding places are well and good, but if a psychopath breaks into your home and holds a gun to the head of your loved ones, it's all for nought. Home invasion is the new normal, and criminals are increasingly desperate, and things will get worse in my short remaining lifetime.

Too bad that if I shoot one, I'll be the guy to go to jail, in our perverted, upside-down, politically-correct concept of 21st-century justice.

A safety deposit box is one place that you can't be forced to access your valuables, especially nights and weekends.

I always leave an (expired) set of SD keys in plain sight on my desk.

 

I live in Florida, a "stand your ground" and "castle doctrine" state.
If someone enters my home uninvited, the coroner will carry them out in a bag.

 

Excellent. I quickly found a list of other States with similar laws:

Safety deposit boxes. I enjoy and share my coins by taking high resolution digital photos. The downfall of this is that I don't have control over the humidity. I do use moisture barrier bags for some items and pay a visit to the box once a month to swap silicone gel packets.

Coin insurance is considerably cheaper using safety deposit boxes as well.

Nevada id a pretty good state when it comes to firearms and self-defense.

 

I live in PA, where castle doctrine applies to my car as well.

"Go ahead, make my day."

 

The Castle Doctrine only works if you are at home, that's why my valuable things are in a safe deposit box at the bank. I leave a small amount of cash in the open around the house, as well as my dummy safe, that, hopefully, will satisfy them if they come in when I'm not here.

 

PA rocks when it comes to gun rights!

 

"The Castle Doctrine only works if you are at home."

But there are some States where the definition has been expanded; see the Wikipedia article I cited above.
​

 

Instead of making me read every state's law, make it easy and link what you want me to read. Maybe you are referring to the extension of the castle defense to vehicles as well?
I can't imagine how you'd shoot someone if you're not there, and I'm sure that booby traps that kill are illegal everywhere in the US.​

 

The link gives a brief summation of the expanded laws in states that opted to expand said law.

 

You can open carry without a permit here. Only need a permit to conceal and carry or have it in your car.

 

Castle doctrine and stand your ground laws, though similar, are for different situations.

 

Boobytraps of any kind are illegal to protect property.

 

Sorry, there's no simple way to link - all the States are different - that was intended more for the folks here who don't know anything about that group of laws and would like an introduction to discuss with their attorneys.
