I think it was mentioned above, but excellent idea! Especially for the 32-round magazines I got for her AR9 build.Can't believe no one mentioned it yet, but I'd say at least one UpLula magazine loader.

Got em something similiar when he got the XD.A quality quick access handgun safe with a Simplex lock for their defensive handgun (XD?).

Good deal. I didn’t know what all they had. If they get a lock box, be sure to mount it (from the inside) to something secure and/or heavy.Got most of those boxes checked- Dog, workbench, and targets they have.
Her Mossberg 377 fills the rimfire plinker requirement, but I think I have an HKS loader for the Security Six, so thats a good idea. I anticipate they will use their XD for nightstand duty- they already have a pistol lockbox- rather than the revolvers, but still a useful extra.
Hmmm, not sure what the 20 guage ammo situation is currently, but I dont have any on hand. I think I will look around for a .410 pump gun for them, though, as I can donate a reasonable pile of those shells to the cause.
He works in the IT field, so a camera/lighting system system was one of the first things he did to the house. I paid to have some of the cheesy locks and window frames replaced already. Their dog is getting older, but has an extremely intimidating bark. All good suggestions, though.Motion activated cameras at the front door and over the garage/driveway and backyard with phone Ap. A mix of outdoor solar and motion activated lights. Check the locks on all windows, entrance doors including the door leading into the house from garage if applicable. Many deadbolts are drilled 1/4 " deep and can easily be forced open. Replace or reinforce the doors and locks if necessary. If that's not feasible reinforce the doors with a tension bar.
It's sad that we even have to think like that but these are the times we live in. I also agree with adopting a large dog.
That's outstanding. Good to know that young ones these days are ahead of the curve. Another thing I found that works is a simple "Beware of Dog" sign.He works in the IT field, so a camera/lighting system system was one of the first things he did to the house.

I like your thinking.
My kids are 15 & 11, and I have already started "care packages" for them to receive in the future as needed.
A good flashlight is priceless to me. Not some fancy weapon mounted light but just a simple, reliable hand-held light that runs on double or triple A's.
My oldest daughter and her husband have just moved from an apartment into their first house and I have decided to set them up with a nice starter set for basic plinking and home defense needs.
I started by getting them a decent 10-gun safe and a dehumidifier can. To fill it, Im going to be pulling stuff from my personal armory- given the price/availability of new guns and ammo.
They currently have a single 9mm XD and a scoped .22 Mossberg (which Ive been keeping at my place since they lacked secure storage at the apartment). For these, Im going to send them 500 rounds of ammo, each.
Then, Im going to throw in a nice stainless Mini14, with 7 mags and another 500 rounds of .223. They both like revolvers, and she likes .22s, so Im giving them three more Rugers, a 4" Security Six, .22 SP101, and a MK2, along with 300 rounds of .357.
I dont have much in the way of smoothbores, but Im thinking about putting a high-power rifle of some sort in there too- maybe one of my '03s....along with some ammo.
Of, course, Im including a cleaning kit, with chemicals and patches.
To top it off, Im trying to source the last few parts I need to finish another AR9 since she shot her sisters example and loved it.
They already have a small range bag with ear and eye protection. Any suggestions for other guns or accessories they could use?
