I think any safe is ultimately "defeatable". The better built models just take longer to get in and also offer some degree of fire protection. That said, you are protecting your property from all but the most persistant criminals, and it keeps the guns away from kids.

It weighs 325# the door is about 3/8" with 5, 1" pins around it. I bolted it down to the floor. Maby I should have got a bigger one. But I think ( hope ) It'll be enough to keep the average crack head out.

I have a Sentry 14 gun case.
Metal door and such. Its bolted to the wall, and will be bolted to the floor soon
It keeps people from using my guns, stealing them, and keeps dust and such off of them.
I wont say its not stealable because I found a 20 gun safe in the woods one day..
It had been broken into... They cut the top off of it w/ a torch or something.
and dumped it out there.
But it is a good deturant... however you spell that word

I heard about some guy who had a gun safe bolted to the floor and wall, yet some nut broke into his house and tied a rope to the safe, out a window across the room, and to the hitch of his truck. He yanked the safe out of the second floor window and actually got away with it. Crazy stuff I tell ya.
