Someone with a gun can still force you to open it.

You need a second "honeypot" safe to handle that sotuation.

I keep only semi-valuable documents in the honeypot safe. Things like flex spending account receipts, password to my personal github account, and free car-wash vouchers.

I think, you should remove the car wash vouchers, if serious.
I believed your safe could be real, until I read that heh.

Affordable amount of cash in one seems most logical solution. And maybe some dress jewelry. Easy enough for burglar to grab and run away, without too much damage on anything else.

'Not this one, I'll open the other one for you.'
Honeypot safe only works if the real one is well concealed. So then it's only worth having if it's somehow known/assumed that you have a safe at all. (Otherwise just leave it well-concealed and you can say 'I don't have a safe, there's some cash in my wallet and a little jewellery in the bedroom' just as effectively as 'Here is the safe it is definitely the real one'.)

Your time would be better spent preparing for the day you will be hit by a meteorite.

It does depend who you are of course, but yes I think we're in agreement?

I think people that require that level of security don’t run around talking about it. I could be wrong…

Only if they know it exists?

Fortunately the house is in a state that makes it fairly easy to get a CCW permit, and I'm always carrying when I'm around that house.
