My excuse is that I'm a Hard Headed Dumb Retired Jarhead.

I tend to think in simple terms. I.E. my guns cost this much, a safe costs this much, will the cost of the safe outweight the cost of replaceing the guns and any related cost associated with their loss?

Also, with the amount of law suits filed in this day and age I really don't want MY guns falling into the wrong hands. Given the cost of even a large safe compaired to that of hireing an attorney to defend you against a criminal and/or civil suit cause one of your guns that was ripped off was used by a dirtbag and a relative of theirs is looking to cash in, seems like a small price to pay (Literally!)

I look at my safe the same way I look at my insurances (home, auto, life). I may never need it but when I do I know I'll rest easier as will my family.
