I was fascinated to hear about the new EMP Locking System offered by Cannon Gun Safes. This is something I have no control, and I honestly don’t know what I could do, on my budget, to fully prepare for such an event. I’m sure most SurvivalBlog readers know that EMP stands for Electromagnetic Pulse, and that is a super-charge of electrical power that can knock out a power grid – in a large area – as in the entire USA, if a nuke bomb is exploded in just the right area above the earth. So, as you can see, I worry about many things, but try to prepare myself and my family, as best I can, for some things that I have a little control over – like having a food reserve – just in case! We are prepared, as best we can be, on our limited budget, for a lot of contingencies – and I don’t worry about things I have no control over, or things I can’t prepare for – like an EMP attack. These days, I don’t have those worries, as I have a pack of German Shepherds protecting my homestead, and I live in a rural area – not as many worries about break-ins these days – although they do happen, even in rural communities. Having lived many years in Chicago – before I wised-up and moved from there in 1979 – I worried about break-ins – and for good reason – I shot a burglar who broke into my house once. I don’t have money to build an underground bunker, that will survive a nuke attack, and even if I did, I’d probably worry that I wouldn’t be near it when the flag went up. Any more, as I mentioned, I try to prioritize my worries – if that is even possible. I used to worry about the End Of The World stuff – however, I’ve long since put that in the back of my mind. The “Check Engine” light on my wife’s car drives me mad – whatever it is, the mechanic can’t figure it out. Whenever I hear a noise under the hood of my car, I start to worry, and make an appointment with my mechanic to check it out – more often than not, it’s nothing that needs immediate attention.
Like most Americans, I worry about making ends meet each month – there usually is more month, than there is money – we try our best to work around it, with our limited funds.
However, over the years, I’ve learned (at least I think I have) to put my worries in some sort of priority. Whatever you do, don’t be in a rush, do your research, there a a lot of great safe companies out there, weeding out the bad ones and the overpriced ones takes time.I’m a chronic worrier. I personally went with Steelwater’s 39 gun safe w/ 9 gauge steel and 2 hour fire protection. Of course the type of locking mechanism will play a big role as well. If you can get 10 gauge steel (the smaller the gauge number the thicker the steel) or less that’s ultimately going to be what assists in keeping bad people out. Third, It’s ALL ABOUT THE STEEL! 12 gauge seems to be what most of the big box stores carry.
Second, who has the best warranty and customer service? Safes are a huge investment and you’ll want a company that stands behind their products. First if you plan on buying more guns/rifles in the future, ALWAYS get the bigger safe. From every single gun safe review I’ve watched and forum read, there are common themes. That’s a great question, there are a lot of factors involved.
