Put something like this in a jewelry box and ye can't miss...or at least this is what my wife carries......
Have you used biometrics before?
Even the best hardware and software only gets into the 90's percentage wise for correct recognition. Wet hands? Just out out of the shower and pruney?
Hmmmm and it needs a battery?
Simple mechanical lock is best and if for some reason you are incapacitated and can't get your hand over to the safe, you can tell someone else the combo so they can go and get the gun.
So I just gave you three reasons to NOT get a biometric device:
- batteries run out
- recognition doesn't always work, although it is better than it was and certainly buying higher end helps
- there may be scenarios where you needs to temporarily pass the "key" (simplex combo) to someone who wouldn't normally have access
I think they are more expensive as well . . . . so a fourth reason although less important than the other three.
NO CHANCE that my 3 year old daughter can get into it. A manual combo system can be "lucky guessed", a key can be found, etc.,

No one in her right mind fights for the sake of fighting. But if you have to defend yourself, it's good to have sharp claws.
Below you will find articles dealing with gun safety, kids, mindset, and much more. There are glossaries and step-by-step instructions on the shooting basics. If you've ever wondered about the legal or social or practical or ethical aspects of owning a gun or carrying it, or wonder if carrying a gun is right for you, you've come to the right place.
So pull up a chair, sit down, and rest awhile. We have a lot to talk about.
