By code, "high" and "low" voltage cannot share a conduit. Must be in separate conduit and must be separated by a certain distance. Conduit also must be buried to different depths depending on what is carried inside.

Right...:rolleyes: And how frequently in the news do we read about a burglar injuring or murdering a homeowner? Answer: DAILY. They break-in not knowing if anyone is home and if they are...too bad. http://www.krqe.com/dpp/news/crime/man-pleads-guilty-in-realtors-death You break in to my...

That ain't really a "safe" by definition...more of a cabinet. I would spend the effort in diguising/hiding it more than I would bolting it down. Have you seen the picture-frame safes? They come in all sizes. For something bigger, you can use a wall mirror.

Desperate enough for what? To feed your family or buy drugs/booze? The "feed your family" types are typically shoplifters stealing food from the grocery store.

Look at the positive side: Imagine all the frustration you can vent when you actually catch one of these losers in the act. I have a sign on my shop that says "I Sleep Here Three Nights A Week...You Guess Which Nights". In actuality, I sleep in my shop seven nights/wk....One of these days I'm...

I assume you don't live and haven't been to South Florida. The "crackhead" criminal you describe thrives here like our cockroaches & alligators. :sad:

Yeah, thought of that too, but...I still like to know my stuff is locked up.

Wow. With all due respect, please re-think your work here. Assuming that electrocution/fire hazard is in your home garage, please think of your family's safety!

I wired a 220v/30a receptacle next to mine with a twist-lock plug. I have a 4 ft. pigtail coming from the motor. This acts as a disconnect and allows me to use the circuit for something else in the future (welder, powder coat oven, etc.).

I did the reverse. I stenciled "Gun Safe" on a standard metal cabinet on the first floor of my shop. Locked inside are my long hand tools (pry bars, paint handles, etc.). I know the dirtbags (assuming they can read) will take this first before they go looking for another.

Did they bolt it to the floor? If not, they did not do a professional installation. And yes, there are ways to steal anything. The idea is to discourage or slow 'em down. Even though I have a safe, the building is alarmed and the dirtbags have to get through two double-dead bolt steel doors...

Yep, that will work...a heavy safe is a good safe, but I don't think my shop stairs will handle 1100 lbs. No way to get a lift up here either.

Back in my Harley days, I anchored a large eye-bolt into the slab of my garage. Parked over the eye-bolt and chained the bike to it. Sorta like anchoring a boat...

It is a bench grinder, but the case is "block" shaped, hence the term "block grinder". Should probably read "block-shaped grinder", but that doesn't flow well.

Get the largest toggles you can fit through the holes in the bottom of the safe. I put mine in a corner of a closet and was able to secure it to the floor, to the wall behind it and the wall next to it, so essentially "three point".

And what was your dog doing while all this was happening? But seriously, living in a nice (or even gated) community = squat. Like Willie Sutton said when asked "Why do you rob banks?" "Because that's where the money is". These days everything has to be double-bolted, alarmed, chipped, engraved...

Beauty! Here's an owner/parts manual: http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/222/1477.pdf

You can carry the pistol loaded in FL too without a CWP... must be in a holster and "concealed" (glove-box or center console).

And it's also not true. If you do further research, you'll find a notice from the ATF indicating such. It's UPS/FedEx policy, not Federal Law.

Wow. So much misinformation on this thread. All he has to do is ship it (FedEx or UPS) to himself, at your address. Done. The ATF is wrong in saying you need to notify the carrier you are shipping a gun. It is an internal policy with FedEx and UPS, but not a federal law. Q: May a nonlicensee...
