Hello,
I want to get a shotgun for home defense but the issue I am faced with is how do I store it safely when I am not at home? If I get a pump action, which is the way I'm leaning, I assume that you need to keep it loaded and ready in order for it to be really useful should someone come barging in with bad intentions. With my handguns, I have them stored in a built-in hidden area, but it is not designed to hold long guns. I have looked at the Remington 870 that comes with an integral lock but am also interested in the Winchester Defender, which doesn't have such a device. Any suggestions as to how to keep a loaded shotgun stored in a closet for example, yet made safe and secure? Thanks, Mike
