EMP and electronic gun safes...

[jsquared]

I have a combination safe with the combination stamped into the safe door right above the dial. Boom, quick entry AND nuclear blast proof.

take off the electronic pad, there you will find the key hole.

I just looked at mine. No key hole.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, good questions. I would guess they would get in using an oxygen acetylene torch.

No problem here, but very interesting topic!

Your joking right? Please tell me you dont really have the combination stamped above the dial...

Better hope you don't have any ammo near where you're cutting.

just get a combination safe and wrap tin foil around your manhood... you'll be good then.

Or Saran wrap... So you can keep an eye on it...

Interesting question.

My guess is that an EMP would fry hell out of the keypad's circuits. I would bet there are some chips in there.

Good question...?

 

[fattboyzz]

I believe it would probably wigg it out ....

I started wondering the same thing after borrowing a book from a coworker titled "One second after"... Good book by the way.

From an engineering stand point, I don't think circuits off the grid or not otherwise powered at the time of an EMP blast would be affected... So take the batteries out of the electronic lock and you should be fine. Having said that, I feel an email to Granite Safe Co.'s customer service coming on.
