I'm wondering what people do to protect their guns while unattended in situations where a full size safe is impractical or unavailable.
I know of many stories where people had gun safes to keep others out but thieves stole the entire safe because it wasn't secured properly. (duh)
Still though, I know of at least one case where the thieves posed as a moving company and completed looted a home while the owners were away. They were able to completly cut out a safe that was secured to the wall.
Basically I'm wondering:
A. What do you do when you can't implement a fully-secured bolted to wall type safe (like if you rent an apartment)
B. Should more emphasis be placed on concealing the guns in an inconspicuous location rather than sticking them in a huge safe or box that screams, "there's guns in here!"
I'm primarily worried about robberies where no one is home and the thieves would have some time to clean a place out.
Any thoughts?
