>You act like you can’t improve your home security if your house gets hit
No I don't act like that. But most normal people won't, or rather, they won't immediately. Sure they might call a contractor to schedule something for later in the year but not have it buttoned up two days later. Criminals know this. As I said (and you'd know if you knew anything about this) this is SHORT term, long term there's no statistical increased risk. But them coming right back within a few days to a week? Yes. This is simply objective fact.
>But it’s not really an argument against using a “gun safe”- with a proper security system- for most people.
Yeah it is because the gun safe is simultaneously a theft magnet and ineffective, so far worse then spending that money on proper general home security. Most people don't have a decent secure door even for example. Spend the $600 on that.
>Honestly an attack like that can again be mitigated with a security system which are pretty dirt cheap these days. You can even home roll your own for around a $1,000 and it will do you just as much- if not more- good than a $5k safe.
So first, no those won't do as much as a good safe, since the safe will protect against fire and flooding as well. But second the same argument is even more true vs a $600 sheet metal scambox. Just do normal physical security, which everyone absolutely should do.

Is a gun safe really worth it when you can just keep them in a locked plastic rifle case?
