    Best location is right next to other other two...

    On a serious note...that slab will support more than that safe full of ammo only...
    Wilson Protector .45, Springer 9mm Loaded, Franchi Instinct SL .12ga. and some other cool stuff for the kiddos...

      Put it in a corner. Bolt it to the floor and the two adjacent walls. Many safe doors are defeated through pry attacks usually by tipping the safe on its back. Having it bolted in a corner stops tipping and limits leverage angles due to interference with the walls. Get as thick as you can afford sidewall steel.
      If you find yourself in a fair fight, you're doing it all wrong.

        Correct placement is in the Middle of the other 2.

          There's enough steel in you concrete slab to sink a ship. Way more reinforced than your driveway that you could park a semi in every night without breaking the concrete. Nothing to fear

            +1. pry attacks are the number one method used by thieves. Safes located in corners limit leverage points. Not only bolt to the floor, but bolt to the adjacent walls.
