I have heard from more than one OC person "ehhh just unload it and throw it in the trunk." I decided to write this as a notation to how unsafe that makes me feel as a gun owner. The more likelihood that i will be in a gun fight increases with that statement.
WARNING: highly opinionated statements backed with video ...... some may have been tested at home....... this is all public knowledge that can found at your local library!
bullets are everywhere and guns are not. Our government has made it this way by design. its our responsibility to keep those firearms in the right hands. think Walmart sports section, how many Walmarts there are and how many have hand gun ammo yet no real guns. i know my local bitty Walmart has everything one would need except the firearm.
i never have liked the idea of leaving a firearm unattended even at home unless in an inground fiber reinforced cement vault with a steel lining. something a back hoe would have to take out. the best place for your firearm to be is in your possesion to protect you and keep it from others. especially in some random parking lot..... pffft that's asking for someone to steal and go commit a crime with your carelessness. no lock is secure at all with the advent of the internet. it only slows them down by a couple minutes... if that.
even 11 yr old kids watch youtube and make these vibrating lock picks out of tooth brushes that can open master lock!
-tumbler type locks are hard! lol!
current technology
original style
for the cheap thief
yeah it took nine minutes. but that only nine minutes to get into your house and those picks work on your gun safe too!
-pin locks easy but take more time
manually
maunal 7 pin
nice tool! very good dremel work!
7pin
10pin
for those that think "i'll just add a padlock"
-shackle combo locks
what locksmith use but a theres are steel version
for those that are mechanically inclined.
the geeky way takes a total of ten minutes. but as an after thought you could
get you numbers and come back later.
these locks are a huuuuge vulnerability! i found out with a $200 leather jacket in high school when it came up missing even with a cop patrolling our hallways. this was 20 years ago some people i knew told me about how vulnerable they were but would never say how. now i know!
-cheap fire safe
darn pennies are laying everywhere these days.
notice he just entered a factory master code. these are available on
the internet.
-masterlock
-Home Locks
bump keys are probably the fastest way sadly.
-my favorite entertainment Cars! Yes there are great but are only made to go down the road. not be your mobile gun safe.
i have done this since i was a kid. mom always was forgetting her keys. works on a 66' chevy bel air on up to the electronic age and then it got easier!
How to Open a Locked Car with the Big Easy Car Unlocking Tool the tow truck companies use this method. this would be a fancy version.
non fancy version. i like that they say "30 sec every time" they are not kidding!
probly the fastest way especially if in an Home depot parking lot!
your firearm(s) would be gone in under a minute. see above videos.
look around you.... how many people have laces in there shoes? :/ btw just learned this method today but video has been around since 2008 and 1.2 million people know how to do this. many more know what a slip knot is. see above for 'band' version' you know a tote lid and sandpaper?!?!? yes its most likely real as it is a concept supported by a patented device.
this kid explains that the car is its own tool kit!
whaaa!?!?
or they could just take the whole car with the above tools.
a basic how too on nationwide tv for no mater what car it would be.
but that is too hard, they would hold you up with your own gun and use your keys! now that would be embarrassing.
but these days all it really takes is a stick and a door wedge to get a car open. dang electronic locks saved my bacon a few times after paying $50 to a tow truck company and learning how they do it after locking my keys in the car with it running mind you. took less than 3 minutes too open the doors and get to the trunk includeing paperwork. and that electronic trunk pop is pretty handy too for both you and the thief! so umm yeah, just trying to be a responsible gun owner with the knowledge at hand.
now on a positive note......
this guy is right when it comes to custom safes. yes stainless is hard to cut as i have found out from being a blacksmith. but its is possible. most torches and such are rated for 3/16" - 1/4"steel. i would consider a 1" plate stainless steel through the whole of the safe and certified welded to be pretty sufficient. your local locksmith will be able to install the locking mechanization. this style is a safe that would allow unlikely for mechanical bypassing ie crow bar and hammer style. or just useing a hatchet to cut through sheet metal.
but there is the outsmarting a safe....
this is the method they used in the movie in The Italian Job. good movie! if your smart it works.
a combo lock works on the same principal since the civil war. digital or mechanical.
this is a new york bar i believe. it is a very good method. but in this video its funny watching her put a bar in an all glass door. lol
