I have been doing some research (including the THR archives) on how to secure a shotgun in a bedroom closet against unauthorized access while still allowing quick access in case of emergency.
So far I have found the following products:
SC-5 Gun Lock for all Rifles & Shotguns
Mossberg Loc-Box
These two are reasonably priced and have the features I am looking for. However, they both require a key for opening which I find suboptimal. Trying to locate and use a key under stress, possibly in the dark, sounds like a recipe for failure.
Then I found this:
Shotgun Case, Closet Vault from V-line Steel Hard Rifle Case
It looks like a good solution, but once you add shipping, it is rather expensive and actually costs more than the weapon it is supposed to secure.
I also found this:
Santa Cruz Electronic Lockhead
It is designed for vehicle mounting and wiring to 12V so it won't work in this scenario, but something like this with an electronic combination/button lock would be ideal.
Another one I came across:
MAGLOC Push Button Trigger Lock
Interesting design, but doesn't look like it will work with a shotgun.
Is anybody aware of a product that would fit the bill?
- Single shotgun/rifle wall mount
- Theft protection
- Keyless access/release
- Reasonably priced
Any tips would be appreciated.
I wasn't sure which forum to post it in since it fits multiple categories - Tactics, Rifle, Shotgun, Accessories - so I posted in the General forum - hope that is ok.
