[QUOTE="Blaubart, post: 1938209, member: 37498"]I get it. Possession is 9/10th of the law. ;) I feel the same way, but I did a bit of a risk analysis on my bullion and I figured that it was more prudent to store it in a SDB than at home in my safe. Primarily because they have a much better physical and electronic security than I can afford. For example, they have a leased line alarm system. In other words, their alarm system maintains a constant connection with the security service. If that signal is interrupted, the police are informed and they respond in force. (I've seen them responding to an ATM alarm before, and you'd think there was a mass shooting in progress.) Most home alarm systems dial a security service when there is an event, because a leased line is cost prohibitive. When the police respond to a home alarm, it is typically not the same level of response a bank or ATM would receive. The differences in physical security are similar. I kept my bullion in my gun safe for a while. Then I bought a used AMSEC safe, but it was not a TL rated safe. My next safe will be at least a TL30. But even then, I'll store the bulk of my PM in my SDB. One thing to consider when storing bullion in a gun safe is the exposure to chemicals that will accelerate toning. (Assuming of course that you also store guns in your gun safe)[/QUOTE]
