Glad to hear you say that
That is a VERY wise precaution. Sure I'm worried about people taking my guns, but a much more likely scenario (and uselessly tragic one at that) is if my teenage boy and his ingenious pals got into my guns.
I feel better now that the grandson is learning to walk. He is not getting to the firearms now

I doubt that safe would keep a teenager with internet access out if they wanted in

Is this made in China?
Yes, made in China 
like most thing found at Wall Mart. As far as a teen getting in: it would take considerable effort, perhaps a sledge hammer and heavy duty crow bar.I was impressed for the price.
No room to get much of anything heavy enough to pry the door open.
The safe is not made of thin sheet metal. Solid steel, not sure of the gauge of steel, pry resistant door, and totally concealed hinges.
You can see the thickness of the steel along the horizontal edge below the 2nd Hornady box.
I did not say this was the ultimate safe, just an inexpensive solution for my situation.

Unless they can crack
You and I think alike there, Poodle. Never underestimate a determined teenager. They can figure there way into anything. I've got a combination lock with a steel plate behind the knob that I hope is up to the task. The other alternative was to spend $40/month renting a closet sized storage space.

If your happy with it, I'm happy for you. Not everyone needs or can afford a top of the line safe, and sometimes one needs to adapt to their needs/abilities.
If all I worried about was keeping the little ones out of my guns, this looks like a good enough choice.
My kids are older and have a healthy respect for firearms. I'm more concerned about theft. Even the one you chose will at least discourage theft, if not strongly discourage it.

So how many $100 bills ya keeping in there? Looks like a few...if those teens weren't interested in your guns...they sure as heck would love the money you just showed the world.
OPSEC is a good thing. Showing an empty safe isn't a bad thing.
Enjoy - good idea. Ya made the effort, more than most will do.

Is that a top-break revolver with a Pachmayer grip?
Crazy!

No teens in the house to worry about, but theft is a concern always. Like I said not Fort Knox, but an inexpensive solution to secure valuables, many folks don't even attempt this level of security.
And yes that is a top break.
