Just about any safe is burglar proof as far as the average smash and grab crackhead coming into your house. All of them can be opened by a skilled safe cracker. Some as quickly as twenty minutes. In the real world, safe crackers aren't coming into your house. I have a lot of family on police agencies. It's usually a computer, ipod, jewelry, and anything easily grabbed in a few minutes in your house. All that being said, get one with an electronic lock instead of a tumbler system. Some have both systems on the safe. The nice part about the electronic ones is they are a lot faster to open when you want to get in them. Also, with the number of possible combinations available, the odds of anyone getting lucky is beyond remote. If it's going downstairs you can get away without fire proofing which adds several hundred pounds to the weight of the safe. It's usually just concrete used for fire proofing. Look for internal hinges and a flange locking mechanism if you want a bit more securing. One final thought: when they say "holds x amount of guns" you can cut that figure about in half. Yes, you can get that many in there, but at the cost of banging them all together due to no room for them to get in and out. Good luck.
