[QUOTE="Smitty, post: 1359973, member: 35044"]Each person has to do a cost/benefit analysis for their particular situation. I actually considered a TL-15, but a few things stopped me. I was afraid it would crack the floor joists of my old house, I didn't think an 800# safe could be maneuvered into the particular closet I needed it in, and I'd have to get it moved twice when I remodel. When I did my own particular cost/benefit analysis some of the things I took into account were: [LIST] [*]Burglaries are rare in my area. Even more so in the blocks surrounding my house. I don't know of any house within a couple of blocks of mine ever being burglarized ... that's over decades. [*]The value of what I plan to put in the safe. [*]Someone is usually home. [*]I have a dog. She isn't very tough, but she makes a lot of noise. [*]The position of my neighbors' houses leave no blind spots of entry. [*]I have easy access to guns and I know how to use them. [*]The safe will be in a closet surrounded by plaster walls, so it would be a little tough to "work" on. [/LIST][/QUOTE]
