I have had a Fort Knox for 20 years. I would consider the desired size and fire protection status. Unless the criminal knows where the safe is and is prepared with the skills and tools to break it open and has the time to do so when no one will interupt him it is unlikely that he will bother trying. The fire protection will help but not enough to keep an heirloom gun in heirloom shape in event of housefire with the heat, smoke and steam from putting the fire out. I chose Fort Knox because Chuck Yeager advertised them but for the purpose of preventing theft or unauthorized handleing (children) either would be good.
All the Best,
Bill Daniel
