NES!
We hear a couple of perspectives on safe placement in our store, and it got us wondering: Where do most folks put their safes?
Back in the day, it was fairly evenly split (I'm told) between customers that had their safes out on display and customers that hid them away. Now, many more folks choose to put them in removed locations rather than out and easily accessible. There are a couple schools of thought on this.
1.) The "Out of Sight, Out of Mind" School:
If you hide away your safe - removed from where contractors and burglars would look, then it's safer because it's minimally seen. This may make it a little more difficult or inconvenient to access, but it's worth it for the safety. Gun's, irreplaceable documents, cash stores, and heirlooms are stored in the safe, but items used daily or weekly are not. The safe is probably accessed between once per week and once per month.
2.) The "Out 'n' Easy" School:
If the safe is out and easy to access in a main room, and it's likely part of the daily routine. It's accessed in the morning to get out your wallet, pocket book, cash, and is used to hold the every-day carry guns chosen based on what conceals best in your clothes that day. Not only does it house guns and long-term storage items, but also check books, passports, extra ID's and credit cards in the safe. Maybe it's riskier to have it out in the open, but the convenience and the security of having everything locked up every day is worth it. Plus, they make some nice looking paint jobs. In the case of a burglary or fire, everything that you want kept safe is locked up, and there's no lag between making a "this goes in the safe the next time we open it" pile, and those things actually making it in the safe.
Which do you employee?
