Be sure to secure your gun safes

Recommended Posts

Without knowing much of the story, this was found buried in the sand in mantaloking. So perhaps the bolts were sheared from the home no longer standing... but just a sobering reminder that A) Unsecured possessions can end up anywhere, and B) this storm was a sonofabitch and stole some poor persons gun safe.

 

Compliments of JSHN on fb.

I just saw that on the feed too. Unless that model has predrilled bolt holes or a power pass through, the way that safe is lying, whatever is in there has been sitting in sea water for an entire month. Even if its not currently a gun-quarium, being bathed in that slurry then exposed to oxygen might even be worse! If i was the owner, i'm not sure there's anything in there of any value anymore. :(

It also wouldn't hurt to mark the exterior of your safe so that you could identify it in the event of this type of situation. This safe looks exactly like it does on the floor in Lowe's. If the combination dial is frozen, what's your proof that this is yours?

They are serialized, you would just have to have original documentation to back it up....

Those safes have four holes in the bottom so they can be bolted to the floor if you want to. I have two of them, but a little larger than that one.

 

Having seen the devastation in photos, I have a great deal of doubt that four bolts holding anything to a concrete slab would hold back mother nature.

For those of you that haven't been to those areas, even if that safe was bolted to the floor, odds are that floor was no longer there. Houses were torn to shreds and many of them are simply gone.

 

As for the guns in the safe, you really think the home owner cares much about his guns or the fact that everything around that safe is gone.

Yeah but just think, if he has any AKs they're just fine.

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
