How do you guys keep your safes prior to opening? I had to enter a home (very bad run down neighborhood) today that had a large gun safe. The home owner turned the combination to just one number and it opened. The owner said he kept the safe dialed to the third number so all he has to do is dial the fourth number and the guns inside are readily available. Before he leaves the home, he messes the combo up and then when he returns, he dials the first three numbers.
My safes are all four number combos as well but I have them where I go through the entire combinations before they open. It takes a while but none of the guns inside would ever be needed immediately.
BTW: I was at the man's residence to question him about a MVA he witnessed and he saw my gun and wanted to show me one he has. Very nice man but has been in the home for over 40 yrs and the neighborhood went down around him.
Is your safe ready to open, unlocked or full combo required? I can see reasons for each way.
