I'm not sure if this is in the right section, but I'll post it anyway, since it's about home protection strategy.
I recently bought a finger-keypad two gun safe where I keep my pistols. Now, I subscribe to the theory that your pistol just helps you get to your shotgun or rifle, so I'm now looking at a quick access way to store my shotgun.
Let me set the scenario: townhouse, no room in the bedroom for a full safe. Maybe in the office, but that would require moving across the stairwell top, which might expose me to fire. So I would prefer to keep the shotty in the bedroom, albeit maybe not right next to the bed.
So keeping one shotgun in the regular safe is not an option, since I'd rather stay hole'd up, and I can't put a new safe in the room with me. I seem to remember seeing some sort of quick release mount for a shotgun that held it on a bed frame or in a closet, but I can't seem to find it anywhere (it would help if I remembered make or model name).
Anyone here know what I'm talking about or have any other ideas? Right now the shotty is unloaded, and has a cable lock going through it under the bed. Not bad, but I'd rather not fumble with a cable lock and loading it while the wolf was coming up the stairs.
Thanks for any help,
JH
