Consider two safes. One, a cheap one, in rather plain site, with crap
jewelry, so any home invasion will be able to not open the safe, but
be able to remove it without much trouble. The real safe is as others
have described, hidden in an undisclosed location and very securely
fastened to your house foundation.

I like this idea.


It's hard to pull out a floor safe. We installed one in Mom's house after we
had to jackhammer a hole in the concrete slab in the closet to tunnel to the
plumbing for major repairs. The house will be up for sale soon with safe
included.

Use a heavy steel key-lock box for a pistol or shotgun for easy access, bolt
it to the wall or floor from inside. Just make sure the key is on you and
one in the safe, and the kids won't find them laying around.
