[QUOTE="benveniste, post: 1757370, member: 25547"]Sorry, I'm not going to give details on my own security choices on a public forum. But here are some general comments: [LIST] [*]I advise against booby traps of any sort, whether they are designed to kill, injure, or merely restrain. You want to thwart criminals, not become one yourself. [*]If you can bring a safe into your house by yourself or with a buddy, unless you secure it carefully a criminal can take it out just as easily. [*]A typical consumer gun-safe has a rating of TL-5, which means it should take one man with a crowbar and hammer more than 5 minutes to force it open. For a casual smash and grab artist, 5 minutes is an eternity. On the other hand, it's not going to stop a planned heist by a more serious adversary. [*]If you're even thinking of keeping your combination on a slip of paper in your house, save your money. [*]Don't neglect personal safety.
