I have one of those but it almost doesn't sound like it's worth the time, especially since I bought the thing knowing it was good for keeping a 2 year old out of it and not much else.

Typically with any "class action" suit the only ones who make out in the end are the lawyers!

Typical frivolous law suit! You get 8 bucks and the company that makes affordable firearms products takes a big hit because some lawyer sees a big pay day. People want their 8 bucks damn it!!. If I had 10 of these safes I wouldn't put my name on that list. I refuse to be part of this type of crap that's doing our country no good.
