I know there is no better substitute than carrying on your person. But I don't sleep with my EDC, nor shower with it....among other things. When a firearm isn't on my person or in a case being transported in my possession, it's locked up in a deep, dark vault in the basement. There are no exceptions to this rule for now.
The days of storing shotguns behind dressers, handguns in night stand drawers or ARs on closet shelves are long, long gone for me. I have small Children. Their abilities to fully understand firearm safety won't be for another few years at least, but we do educate them as much as they're able to understand at this point. Nuff said.....
What I'm looking for is the ability to have at least one handgun, and one long gun on each floor of the house (2 story)
My criteria for securement must be the following-
1)Must be able to keep Children, guests, and others from accessing them. This basically means it cannot be opened by hand. I'm not interested in any suggestions of "really good" or "crafty" hiding spots. This will not fly for me. No hiding spot is good enough, Children are extremely crafty.
2) Must be fairly quick to open. Entering a 4 digit combo on an electric pad Is the most I'd like to to gain access.
3) If a burglar with a crowbar can break into these "cabinets" in under one minute per youtube video...... I could care less. You can't have quick, easy access, portable, micro, with bank-vault style security in the same package, that much I get. Any break in will hopefully trip our security system if we're not home anyways. My biggest regret if that happened wouldn't be losing whatever firearm it was, but what could happen with that firearm in possession of a Criminal.
Any suggestions? There are dozens of options out there on quick-access gun cabinets, from long guns, to handguns..... I have no clue what is the difference between them, or what's good or what's junk.....
