Rebel Hog,
Based on your experience, what is your opinion of the Titan series of safes from Fort Knox. I in no way claim to be an expert on this subject, but did try to do some informative reading and research before making my decision. My safe was a generous gift from my in-laws, who insisted due to my 4 year old in the house. Honest opinions appreciated....no hard feelings regardless. Thank You for Your Time.
