I don't know if this has been covered before, but it's been a topic at our hunting camp. The various gun safe manufacturers seem to make a lot of hay over ratings, temps, times, etc...and the cost to go with them. If your house or building holding your full gun safe was actually in a fire, how would you feel about using those firearms? If it was me, and the fire was anything big and/or close to the safe, I don't think I'd let my family get down behind any of them and shoot. Maybe I'm just paranoid, and my command of metallurgy and heat treating doesn't even amount to rudimentary, but it just wouldn't be worth the risk.
Anyone else ever wonder about that or, God forbid, gone through such a fire and had to make that call? Are there any foolproof tests that can be run on the post-fire weapons? Thanks.
