And this is why I keep assuming that if you store guns, you keep them unloaded.

If a gun is in a locked safe it is irrelevant if it is loaded. It should however NOT have a round chambered. If there is a fire - you don' t want rounds cooking off in a chamber - endangering first responders. Revolvers should be unloaded.

Bullets cooking off in a fire make noise but are of little consequence.

Even so, if it's a good safe, the slug won't be a danger.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

In a really good one. Most of the cheaper ones won' t stop a 3000 fps bullet..

And some rifles with the right ammo will ventilate any safe.... 

I have an old Swiss K31. A very interesting military gun. A straight pull bolt action. Match grade. ( all Swiss military rifles and ammo are). The standard ammo the Swiss issue has some kind of odd coating on the bullets. Ballistically is is equal to 308 NATO. But it has terrific penetration. I have a hardened steel backstop that is set up at a 45 degree angle to deflect bullets into the ground. Old US made 30-06 armor piercing (black tip) just bounces off. The factory 7.5 Swiss makes clean round holes. My handloads with FMJ bounce off...

Go figure.

Know why I think you come here, to these boards, and say silly shit like that to people like me?  Because you actually can't find any of the people your paranoid delusions are full of.  It's got you reaching for alec baldwins gun by proxy.  Fuckin grunts get recast in your mind as crypto gun grabbers who have no real understanding of what it means to start a fucking firefight in your home.  F, for effort.

Got all the self defense I need bud, it's called a lock.  You put them on doors, they even make them for windows.
Yup.. I' m convinced.

You have zero gun experience.

I on the other hand have over 50 years of gun ownership. 21 years of daily concealed carry. I have trained 100s of people in gun handling. 

I am not a badass. I am simply a guy who recognised the world can be and frequently is a dangerous place and prefer to do what I can to protect myself. This means being proficient and having the means to do so.

You can pretend otherwise.
Mhm, gotta stop those gangbangers from invading your junkyard and chopping up those saturns.  As we all know, you have to be ready to kill a man at a moments notice in hellscape america.  So much for that bullshit about not knowing anyone who buys a gun for that very reason - and as suspected..you are one of those people yourself.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
