Cabellas safe?

Dude said "Liberty." Do they make Cabela's branded safes?

Thats pretty bad ass.  I'm curious what the safe specs were.

Impressive.  Looks like it said 45 on the door as it opened, so probably 45 min at 1200. 

Also impressive as it's my understanding that most fire rated gun safes like that won't really survive a house fire.  The temp and duration of the rating is usually well under what most stick built houses will burn.  I'm getting ready to build a fire-proof walk in gun safe room and was going to sell my safe, but am now thinking of putting it in the corner as a double protection.

Yeah, dude got very lucky from a rudimentary search for total loss fire safes.

This video explains it all.  Essentially you're counting on a rapid fire response (within 10 minutes) to get water on the fire and save the gats.  Keep the safe in a room with an internal door to keep the room heat down as much as possible.

Liberty is the company who gave the feds the code to open private citizen’s safes. Fuck them. But I’m glad that guy’s guns didn’t burn, so there’s that.

The other thing to consider is basically fireproofing the closet or whatever your safe is in.  I originally considered adding three layers of fire rated drywall (which is basically what gives the safe a fire rating) on all the sides, which might allow the contents to survive a real fire.  My current plan is to basically line a room in the basement with fire drywall and then cinder blocks.  Big problem to solve is how to protect the ceiling...

I actually did do the safe within a safe, put a "fireproof" document safe inside the "fireproof" gun safe thinking that the documents might actually survive.  Until I didn't have space in the gun safe.

Did the feds have a warrant for the Liberty event?  While I'm against a backdoor code even existing for something like a gun safe, if they had a warrant then they were going to get into the safe one way or another.  Just saved some time, money, and destroying the safe.

There was a warrant.

Some of you assholes (def not me) are felons again for a few more days according to the ATF.
