As a major JP winner: How much cash would you have in your home safe?

Based on using 100 dollar bills, a 100 milion stack would fit on a military ISO sized pallet. Which is approximately 6 ft by 6 ft, with a height of 6 ft. Its the weight that would be tedious to lug around. So really a safe doesnt need to be big, just sturdy enough and armored enough to keep it secured.

I have zero trust in our financial institutions for being able to even electronically retain my funds. ITs too easy for it to vanish thru a computer glitch. Plus the govt can take it at will .... [ More ]

$5000,000 in gold and cash. Half and half.

I can understand the gold and cash.

But the half and half will go bad if the safe's not refrigerated.

I would substitute with Coffee-Mate.

Not really cause some of those laws ban certain kinds of rifles but if you already owned it before the ban then it is grandfathered in AND you can even sell it. So there are loop holes you can get around that stuff, but dont think it's not a marketing plan, cause they all know this but they use that ploy to make people to go out and buy or buy more when they normally wouldnt.

Yeah, I had a school/home town buddy who bought a bunch of those rounds just before the ban went into effect. He was a gun nut, truly paranoid and had buried a lot of guns and ammo after the Brady Bill was passed. Before he finally got married, he lived at home w/ his mom and sister and I went into his room once when he was going to change his shirt prior to he and I going out that evening and I almost fell over when I walked in behind him; he had rifles stacked up around the bare spots on the w...

I agree. Back in the mid 90's many states banned certain types of ammo because they were deemed cop killers and too deadly (a bullet being called too deadly...lol).

The ban was in effect for several years before being lifted.

mikeintexas — Thu, 06 Mar 2014 00:44:19 GMT

Well, it's a fact that several states controlled by Democrats have recently passed laws restricting gun ownership, while states controlled by Republicans have passed laws expanding gun owner's rights. Source: NYT (not exactly a right-wing rag ) So, it depends upon where one lives, doesn't it

LOL that's the greatest sales tactic no one will ever tell you about. I had a friend who worked for a gun store and the boss loved it when democrats got elected cause he could put up signs that said stuff like get your guns and ammo before so-and-so bannned them. Knowing fool well that there would never even be such a ban LOL

Any man who wins a jackpot and then entrusts the safety of his family to some schmuck at the front gate is needlessly putting his family in danger. It's a man's job to protect his family and if he is frightened by guns he puts his family at a distinct disadvantage vis-a-vis a man familiar with and disciplined in the use of weaponry.

I would never shoot first and ask questions later

And then would only shoot to cripple ( if I had a chance too )

And I would only shoot as a last resort , and sure of my target

There would be zero money in my safe

All that would be in there , would be two draw string canvas bags , drawed tight

And each would be full of heavy round metal slugs

In case of a robbery , I would tell them , all I have is Gold coins

And I would hand them the first bag , and as I lifted the second bag out of the safe , it would have a Glock taped underneath the bottom of it

A few seconds later , as they were laying on the floor , I would ask them
