DC> The one in my bedroom (locked in a biometric-lock small safe) - in
DC> 2-3 seconds.  Probably less if I'm not fully asleep.
 
'Biometric" as in how? Fingerprint? Eye-scan? Bettery powered or on the grid?
If I enter your house illegally and shut-off the power first, is the safe still
safe? Can it still be opened?
 
Just curious.
 
Personally I don't get excited about gun-ownership but if I'd live in Montana,
I'd have one.
 
I've had one break-in attempt many years ago, young kids (like in their 20s)
trying to get in via the garage. Now I still have my grandfather's WW1 bayonet
sheathed. These were not small things but long heavy things, like a small
sword. Slammed-on the lights, stood there, unsheathed the bayonet/sword in
plain sight and I swear I've never seen anyone run as fast as these kids to the
get-away car.
 
Ever since, I also have baseball bats at strategic locations, out of sight, but
where I know they are.
