Thanks all for the help and insight into something I know absolutely nothing about, ah, until now that is.
Rather than buying a safe, a friend of mine built a secret room to store his firearms.
I was amazed when he showed me. The entrance was so skillfully built as to be almost invisible.
His talent with finish carpentry was phenomenal.
I wish he was still with us...

Gun Safes and Their Installation
Which one do you own? I'm looking at getting one in the 60" X 30" X 22" size range. My arsenal is relatively meager.
If you had to do it all over again, would you buy the same model/brand/size or ...?
Many folks bolt down their safes to their concrete slab. Sure, such a precaution may be THE way to go, but I wonder how often thieves make off with these mega-heavy items when not bolted down - once in a blue moon or yep, all the time, better bolt it on down there pardner...
Given slabs in this part of Texas i.e., Houston/Galveston have a nasty tendency to crack, I wonder how much added stress this bolting down might create toward slab cracking in the future that might not otherwise have occurred? Or, is such a consideration not credible from an engineering perspective?
