I really do worry about the car reeking like skunk. I can see myself getting stopped at a checkpoint and getting searched. The car will smell like Colombian Top Shelf for a week.

Is it this year or something? It's crazy. I am not exaggerating this is now about the 11th time since last summer.
-
BUMP! It happened again , just now. Nobody can breathe in the house. I de-grubbed the yard , put mothballs around . LARGE RED AND WHITE DOG , FREE TO GOOD HOME

I program all fingers on mine multiple times . I even let Pete have a few lol It has like 110 prints in it.

They may have fixed those issues , but I still do recommend trying the paper clip trick on the lock override.

And I don't even have to lower the seat much!

WAS chained. Now it is mine.

Could be..I bought mine 3 years ago.

Well , that is the thing ..these Stack On Safes are not suppose to be portable . They are supposed to be bolted to the floor or wall studs. For portability I use a Gunvault with a finger pressed key combo . It has a cable to secure it to something permanent or at least heavy. I feel that one will keep my kids out , but it is still just a detterent againt smash and grab and run type break ins. The only kind of safes that are going to keep out a skilled thief with time on his hands and tools is the kind that costs 4 figures. My main intention with this message was to illustrate that if your kid can jiggle a paperclip , he/she can get into this safe. Something like a Barska will keep a kid out and be a bit of a theft deterrent .Has to be bolted or secured though. Otherwise they just walk out with it. Kind of like chaining your bike to a parking meter.

My main concern was kids , then detterent . The stack on is neither IMO. My 6 year old could easily wiggle a paper clip in there the way I did . It was a newbie mistake , which is why I shared it here Certain things you should really spend a bit more on , a safe is one of them.

I think Amsec got destroyed on the reviews for that too.

About buying safes. When we purchased our first firearms , the first hand gun safe we bought was a Stack On biometric one that you can get on Amazon Prime for about 120 bucks shipped. Having learned they are not the best we have since purchased others that are better. It is still bolted to my floor though and I keep things in it that are not guns but I don't want touched by the kids. Like my training flashlights , extra magazines , holsters and such that are leaded up. Well , last night I wanted to get into it and the thumb pad just died . No lights , no battery warning had been going off , nothing. Just died in a split second. So I went to my class , came home , looked up how to break into it on youtube , and was in the safe rather quickly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YA-g-BNTCtE Then I closed it again and simply wailed on it with a rubber mallet and it popped right open ..admittedly after I worked up a sweat . A kid kicking it hard could have accomplished the same thing. Yes , it is bolted to the floor. Don't buy these Barska knockoffs . Especially if you have kids. Especially if you don't want to walk in on a burgler who just broke into your safe and is now holding your gun. It just is not worth the savings in this departemnt.

I'm a convert too. I wanted to hate them , I really did. But everytime I taught a 1st step pistol and used the range Gen 3 G19 I found myself shooting it well and really liking it. Tried to ignore that ..then it happened. I tried a friend's Gen 4 G19 and liked it even better so I broke down and bought one. Now I have a G19 , G41 , and G35 . Oops. I find the grip angle and overall frame ergonomics on the Gen 4s to be much better for me . Grip angle is a very personal thing and it seems that with the Glocks one either loves it or hates it.

And most ironically , one of his better Dramas ( in my opinion ) was "World's Greatest Dad" where the culmination was in the end he was disgusted by a supposed suicide act ( his son's) leading to everybody glorifying the deceased. He was far better at serious roles than comedy . His stand ups were good though. Shame , all around.

Everybody on social media is all but canonizing him a saint. Yeah , he was funny and talented. And it is sad , I know his fans felt like they "knew" him. If this was suicide - that means ultimately he put his addictions and his need to escape ahead of caring about the rest of the lives of people who loved him. More than feeling feel sorry for him , I feel sorry for his kids who will feel stigmatized even though it is not their fault. I feel sorry for his wife who saw him alive at 10am and then dead hours later. She will spend the rest of her life wondering what would have happened if she "knew" he was going to do that. Yes , Addiction is a disease . I have found throughout life ( and I grew up in Kearny where we actually have a freakin webpage to keep track of who is dead ) that the kids who wound up addicted/dead had a common denominator as children long before they got into it..they were usually self centered as an inherant part of their personality. At the end of the day addiction and suicide means that to that person their self gratification is/was the most important thing in the world to them. I have ALL the respect in the world for recovered addicts and for people who never give up trying to treat their depression. I have none for those that choose to ruin the rest of the lives of theri love ones because they can't hack it anymore or can't say no to feeling good .

I'm actually not worried about anything , just sharing what I would do. It might mean something to somebody for any amount of reasons , so I would try to do the right thing and return it if possible . Just the way my parents raised me

No , but I would check to see if the TV was forgotton by the previous owner. When we moved into this house I found a Barbie doll set from the 50's tucked into a cabinet in a walk in closet. Looked it up and it was a first edition , worth a few thousand bucks. Called the previous owner . She was incredibly grateful , had no idea they were worth that . Then I went to sleep at night , KWIM? She had hired a moving/packing company , she was older , and they did a lousy job as I found stuff all over the place while cleaning out preparing to move in. And if the TV had not been forgotten , I would not be worried that it was the tool used in the commission of a homicide . You have had better analogies

I suppose you could risk a center mass shot if you had an ND during a stressful draw/struggle. Train , and then train some more Here is a pic of a lady wearing it for our holster show flyer.

After years of poking fun at it , I actually tried one out at our holster show , and I have to say Flashbang for the win! Sorry boys Or a small King Tuk if it is winter and I am wearing enough of a jacket . For some girls it is REALLY hard to CC IWB. If you have any kind of curvey waist the grip shows through most shirts. I don't like any kind of off the body carry like a purse. I have accidentally left my purse places before , but I generally come home with my undergarments and pants ( well , since 1990 or so ) .
-
Kind of odd for someone to leave a rifle behind like that. Was it well hidden in the basement or something? If it was buried or in a wall or something ..then that might not be average rust on it If that happened to me and it looked merely forgotten , I would probably attempt a courtesy call to the previous homeowner. If it looked intentionally hidden I would probably go ahead and just turn it in .. DO NOT WANT ! lol Not legal advice , just how I personally would handle it.
