If after a year your stack is already looking suitable for a walk in vault, I commend you and am a little bit jealous! 😄

When considering safes, I suggest checking any models you're considering purchasing against YouTube. I particularly like the LockPickingLawyer channel. Here's a recent video; 

 

Brilliant video:

''Hi there this is The Lock Picking Lawyer, and on this channel I've demonstrated how to penetrate some of the most secure equipment out there, usually using some very simple tools'' - meanwhile the camera is focused on a set of professional lock picks that you would be arrested for carrying in public both in the U.K. and in America unless you are a locksmith, something to do with being in possession of articles/tools for the purpose or use in commiting a crime whether you are breaking the law or not just simply walking around in public with them in your pocket will land you in some legal problems.

Seriously the only way this guy could have made me laugh even harder is if he had a ''lock pick gun'' being filmed on his desk during his introduction rather than a set of professional lock picks.

On topic though, I store my gold in a safe, I store my silver in those transparent ''under the bed'' storage boxes that have lids that Tesco sells for a couple of quid on the floor in the bottom of my wardrobe, my reason being a half decent safe costs a hell of a lot more than the amount of silver it will be able to hold will be worth - a decent home safe has contents insurance included and prices start at four figures for very small ones that can be maneuvered by a single person, and no a safe that Argos sells for one to two hundred quid is not even a half decent safe.  As for Pelican/Storm cases I think that they're the dogs danglies, over pressurisation valve, water proof to 30 meters, very good hinges and latches,, very well made and strong - I've personally thrown Pelican cases out of aeroplanes at 10,000 feet and their contents have survived impact unharmed, locakable, customisable foam inserts... I love them, that's why I own  lots of them - I use them for guitar cases they're worth every penny and they are not cheap £500.00 each for the size of Pelican case that will hold an electric guitar and that's the cost price with no mark up for dealers....  Would I use one to store my precious metals in, that's a big hell no, Pelican/Storm cases also have amazing handles to make carrying them more comfortable, any idiot who wanted to pinch your precious metals that are stored in a Pelican/Storm case will do is simply either pick up the Pelican case, or if it's one of their larger sized models that has wheels, wheel the case out of your property into their car/van, drive it home and spend an hour or so in front of the T.V. with a hacksaw from PoundLand cutting off the ''tab'' for your padlock, or less than 30 seconds with an angle grinder. 

With the value of silver, I personally don't see a point in investing in safes, or even Pelican cases to store it, just keep the stuff out of sight, and don't talk about it/advertise that you buy and store precious metals at home.

Thankyou doctor, 

I have an issue with an itchy trigger finger when looking at gold bullion, can it be operated on?

Yes it's very easy you put the delivery address down as mine 😂😂😂

You know you can just buy an old bank and they (usually) leave the safe behind! I've never checked if they leave them operational with the keys for the new owner tho...

Because if you are a gun owner in the U.K. you have to be very very careful about what you post if you want to be sure to retain your License.

Losing it is even easier.

It certainly is. The government don't want people owning fire arms and the pubic either think guns are illegal or are petrified of them, despite there being next no no legal gun ownership homerciedes. Its a bit like this year really.

'oh a friend of a friend got tested for corona virus, its really scary"

'so are the dead then'

'No they self isolated for a week, no symptoms and are back at work now'

'ok then, so they were 100% healthy then" 

'yes'

'why is it scary' 

silence.

I applied for a firearms licence at the start of this year, but with all this BS then range got closed, so my membership was not processed. I hAve read theY aRE making life very hard even for .22 ranges!! I AM lucky as I am a guest member on an unlimited caliber range, but I only want a .22 semi auto I think, much cheaper to shoot and quiet. 

on the note of the public and guns. After watching a ton of videos from the states about guns, I for one and very glad its like that. They are crazy, literally saying 'if that guy breaks into my house to get my TV i will shoot him with my automatic rifle'. I get that they have been conditioned by thier media system, but murdering someone is not somehting I want on my coconence, especially if they are un armed. My feeling is they are either crazy rednek preppers, that think an apocalypse is coming or they are just scared people that are doing what they think they need too, I guess?? Sad really.

Depends where you live I guess? If I lived on the outskirts of a central london crime hotspot then i would be a bit more worried as things can or could get bad very quickly, in the event of mass hysteria (ie EMP strike and no internet - GOD FORBID LOL).
