Well, then, no reason to buy a safe, eh? Because in your world, nothing
can be done about anything. The safe I have uses 11-gauge steel,
whatever that is.

11 ga steel is just over 1 tenth of an inch thick. Not much thicker than
the steel in a file cabinet. Hope that makes you feel secure.

Actually 11ga is .125" and really thick for a typical gun safe. File
cabinets are usually 18-20ga and cheap ones less than that.
The "security" Steelcase ones we had at IBM were 18ga. The regular
ones were 20ga as I recall (it may be 16/18). I have a regular one
back in the shop I keep my ammo in. I suppose I could check it.
The difference is just how fast the cut goes tho. If someone is
serious and brings a 14" cutoff saw, 1/4" steel is going down pretty
fast. It really just depends on how much they want your guns and if
they know they are there in the first place. Big safes, usually mean
lots of valuable guns.

I no longer own firearms other than those available at normal retail,
and none of them would much interest the mass shooters that seem extant
these days...

I bet they would like your Czech 9mm assault weapon, especially with
the hi cap magazines you went to Virginia for,



There are far easier and juicier selections...at Alex's house.

No doubt but that is not what you said.
