"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Why, yes
Yes, I believe I do want one of those for Christmas.
I suppose anyone that could afford one of those would have a high dollar gun collection, but a $8k couch safe would be more than my collection is worth. I'll keep what I've got, thanks anyway.
BTW, I have a friend that did it the right way. He built a new house last year with a full basement with a "safe room" at one end. It has reinforced concrete walls and ceiling, and a bank vault type door that weighs over half a ton. But, his collection is worth well over 100k, so it's cheap protection.
Deborah....Great idea. We are looking for more furniture, but the price would cut into additional gun purchases. We only dream of having a collection. The weight is too much for our floors. We'd have to build a bunker for the bunker. It doesn't seem practical to have to run to the bunker to access the bunker in time of need.
Deborah...Manufactured homes are also very popular in Texas. They are usually on a pier and beam foundation. I'm not sure if they could bear the weight of this safe. I don't know.

Probably not suitable for a third floor walk up, however. What's it weigh?
ReplyDeleteI don't know, but I doubt I have any floors that I'd want to put to the test (except the basement floor).
ReplyDeleteThe article says the couch and safe weigh 900 pounds combined.
ReplyDeleteEven without the weapons and ammo, this beast needs to be on a slab-on-grade or a very well built elevated floor.

ReplyDeleteMost post-WWII homes in Texas are built on slabs. So are Florida homes and Arizona homes. Just sayin', Mr. Paco sir.
ReplyDeletePoint noted.
