  1. If your goal is making it take a lot of tools and time, and providing heat and water resistance, here's my thought. Build a box of 1/8" mild steel plate. Line that box with more leaving about 2" between them. Fill the gap with cement and 2 sheets of chicken wire. Run a power outlet through the back side for later convenience. Use the door off of a commercial gun safe, but add a layer filled with cement to the outside. Building a vault is relatively easy, concrete filled cinder block with a sturdy steel door frame is prime for a vault door. Tolerances on the door frame are the
  2. I'm responsible before God for raising my children, mine, no others. And mine are being raised correctly so as I will not fear to stand in judgement for their actions.
  3. He will give the Dems everything they've hoped for if... IF... if they can get it through congress. Did you see Feinstein have an orgasm when Trump told her to put her AWB in there? Watch the video at 53 seconds to see her O face. https://www.mediaite.com/tv/watch-dianne-feinstein-erupt-with-glee-after-trump-seems-to-endorse-her-assault-weapons-ban/ People, if you didn't see the whole thing, grit your teeth and watch it online, you must see and hear it to truly believe it. We can only hope that this is just more of his 'Made for TV' drama. But I don't think it is, he gave marchin
  4. Anybody watching this? Trump is in a live meeting bipartisan meeting with top senators. I think he is going to cave big time, he is saying that the Feds WILL be passing a Bipartisan Gun Safety (Control) Bill. Some quotes from Trump, may not be exact words: "We must act!" "Time that a President stepped up on "Gun Safety" "I'm going to write an Order Banning Bump Stocks" Slamming the senators... "You are afraid of the NRA!" and "I love the NRA, no really I love the NRA" and "They have power over you (senators), but they have no power over me" We need to take guns away from the
  5. Well I have to take this back since he didn't destroy it properly per ATF regs it is legally still a firearm. The receiver has to be cut into prescribed sections, and technically all receivers must be cut with a cutting torch, but aluminum supposedly can be cut with a saw with authorization. But we all know that nothing will happen to this guy.
  6. So many problems with environmental systems in our front line aircraft, this, the F22 and more. Not to mention parts problems causing maintenance nightmares and the cannibalism of other aircraft, The parts problem is so bad for older aircraft that they're taking parts out of not just bone yards but out of museum aircraft. And lets not talk about munitions shortages.
  7. Turns out now that there were three more Broward County Sheriffs Deputies that took 'Defensive Positions' rather than enter the school and engage the psychotic killer. Coral Springs Police are upset and frustrated that they refused to enter the school with them when they finally arrived. Could lives have been saved? http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/four-broward-county-sheriffs-deputies-failed-to-enter-florida-high-school-during-shooting-report/article/2649914
  8. I didn't report the only time I've pulled my EDC in self defense. I was told by the vast majority of my online and RL peers that I should've. The FBI's own statistics show a very telling story about violent crime and gun use, and it doesn't serve the Leftist agenda.
  9. Any one person with a battery powered Sawzall can be inside any Liberty safe in 10 minutes, i.e. pulling your valuables out of a gaping hole in the side or top. Even the current manufacture, low budget Amsec and Fort Knox are using only 10g-7g bodies. Sturdi starts with a 3/16" body, not the greatest nor an actual Safe, but much better than the average RSC, and you can add as much carbon steel or stainless as you please. The most common methods used by thieves to open the cheap RSCs are to pry them open, cut a hole in them or hammer the seams open.
  10. That would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath right now. On average it takes 10 books and 10 years of hard work, a bestseller or two, and an award or two before a writer starts making enough money to live on. Most aspiring writers never make it that far. I think my wife will go the distance, this is a lifelong passion of hers. She has a friend who is a successful romance writer, USA Today Bestseller list and a RITA Award. She has an office, writes full time and she makes 40k +/- a year, maybe 50k on sales of a popular new release. Not every success story is on par with Stephen
  11. Agree with the foremost,but not the latter, especially the last. 99% of threats are curious kids, dishonest family/guests and smash/grab druggies, so yeah, but a serious thief, no. Its been proven that concentrating valuables in a cheap RSC means they all get stolen in a break-in. But without a RSC they're most often split up in various locations and thieves likely miss some, e.g. cash, jewelry, hidden firearms.
  12. That's what I'm hoping for, to retire a well kept man. Sure, I'll be one of the demons that inhabit the house in books two and three. More than likely, in hardcover, paperback and e-books. Plus stores. That she is.
  13. Today the kitchen was mine, even the dog got the boot... And stay out! I got up late and made a fine gut busting breakfast, after all a man can't cook on an empty belly. Eggs, sausages and biscuits with jam/butter The Menu Carnitas de Cerdo Arroz Mexicana Frijoles Pintos Pico de Gallo Tortillas de Maiz Condimentos Traditional Carnitas de Cerdo Dry brine 2"-3" cubes of pork, then marinate for 2-3 hours in, 3parts orange juice, 1 part lime juice, keep rinds in marinade and cooking.

  14. I'm proud to announce that my wife has just accepted her third book contract. This contract is with Bienvenue Press. The Possession Chronicles, an eight book (Paranormal) Gothic Family Saga is set in Mobile Bay area from 1904-1929. The first book is titled Perilous Confessions, it's expected release is January 2019, and subsequent books in the series every four to six months. In the vein of storytellers from the height of the Gothic craze such as Dorothy Eden and Mary Stewart, The Possession Chronicles captures the historic feel while invoking a growing sense of dread—from both the charac
  15. Fully agree with ya HB/CJ. Cost and weight are not everything and do not mean shit if it isn't built properly, But steel thickness, sturdy locking mechanisms/bolts, proper building techniques and more do mean security, and those do equal cost/weight. There is not one actual Safe out there that is either inexpensive or a lightweight.. Like I said, read. http://gunsafereviewsguy.com/articles/myths-about-gun-safe-theft-protection/ , it covers everything you're mentioning. It'll inform anyone of what they're really looking for.

  17. Ban The FBI... And the vast Majority of other Federal Alphabet Agencies.
  18. I bought a secondhand Liberty once, before I knew better. Recognize one thing about most gun safes, they're not true Safes. They're rated Residential Safety Containers, and most are built little better than a soup can... Seriously. I can be in any Liberty in 10 minutes with a battery powered Sawzall by simply cutting a large hole in it. 11g sheet metal with drywall. Even the Liberty Presidential only has a 7g body IIRC. Just realize that they're only for keeping out kids, honest people and smash/grab druggies, not real thieves. Still not 'Safes' but much better than most regula
  19. My wife and MiL were shopping at Costco and decided I was going to BBQ today. Well dang, if I absolutely must. They picked up chicken thighs and St. Louis ribs. Chicken and Ribs, a Classic BBQ Combo! Rub the ribs with my homemade pork rub. Fire up the smoker to 225°-240° with Cherry for smoke. Low-n-slow, no crutch, cook till they pass the 'Pop, Bend and Crack Test'. The chicken got a good dousing of EVOO and a savory rub of spices. They bypassed the smoker and went on the grill. The women made some sides, they sauteed some asparagus and carrots, tossed a salad and baked s
  20. After a long hectic week at work I got off work Friday with time to prep out a nice dinner. With my wife's help some steaks were already thawed and a favorite of ours was soon to be.
