Be sure to secure your gun safes

[RubberBullets 65]

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.

Hope the former owner used Eezox!

Everyone should be an NRA member and take advantage of the firearm insurance

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?

So sad

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

Prolly locked in the safe. Lol

And if the owner comes to get his guns, he is arrested for possession outside of one of the exemptions.

Do you think it is full of water..

 

I caulked mine shut and still had 4 inches of water in it when i returned home..

 

 

Here i am cutting it open..

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.

buried treasure does exist !

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.

[71ragtopgoat 23]

Did anyone get a bar and open this safe yet. I'm sure the owner would want his stuff back.

[Vlad G 345]

Plus maybe they didn't store guns in it, but their diamonds and gold stash.

[tony357 386]

could be a body in it..

I have not posted pics from around town yet, but maybe i will today.. Now you know how that safe ended up where it did.. I am thankful i was able to come home to mine..

 

[Secret Squirrel 3]

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.

[PK90 3,570]

It was probably the safe that did the most damage. The sloshing waves picked up that safe and used it as a battering ram.

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

[M4BGRINGO 139]

I'm sure if the safe made it's way out of the house there is also no house left. Bolting that particular safe down would have made no difference.

[The_Matrix 105]

Hey, I have the same safe.

Have you checked latley? Maybe mercede's and tisha could not carry it anymore..

[Old Glock guy 1,127]

Better hope he had Glocks in there. He could just take them out and start shooting!
