We have this mounted behind some furniture. Not burglar-proof, just kid and sleepwalking-wife proof. It does have a tubular lock so mount it close to a wall to prevent access to it.

I believe there's also a biometric version but I'm more comfortable with the pushbutton combination.

This is what I use for my nightstand pistol Amazon - GunVault

Works great, can open it in the dark and no finicky fingerprint scanner (Though they have one with that option). Goes great in a drawer.

This would work good under the bed or on a closet shelf.

As far as what to use for a rifle... something like This under the bed or behind the headboard maybe?

I have had one of these for approaching 20 years now and it's worked pretty well:

> Your side should be stepping up offering solutions before us left wing non-gun toting nut jobs take them away from you

this is what I took exception to. Not acceptable.


What I was recommending earlier is this


Mandatory secure storage with proof of ownership. I have always been a big stickler on gun safety/training/target shooting classes. A weapon in the hands of an inexperienced gun owner can be just as deadly as in the hands of a criminal. Mandatory classes---yearly, in taking refresher classes for gun safety/security/target shooting.

Answer: My hunting rifles and shotguns are locked in the big safe and no, I don't expect them to wait for me. The gun I carry is either on my hip, or in one of these on the nightstand. If they can get in my bedroom and shoot me before I can get my gun, I guess I die knowing I did everything I could to be safe and prepared.

Also, my carry/nightstand pistol is already loaded.

I agree with most of your comment and don't mean to be contumelious but:

> If they're not in the safe (if I'm going to the range), there's a trigger lock on them. They're unloaded and the ammunition is locked away also.

In the unlikely event you need to use your firearm for self defense you may find that too many safety precautions can inhibit your ability to get your firearm in time.

I would recommend the Gunvault I have the deluxe version out of sight and bolted to a shelf.

EDIT: I misread this to read that it was locked in the safe AND had a trigger lock AND had ammunition locked separately! Leaving this up for the Gunvault recommendation.

> Not a bad idea if you want to hide your guns while you might be out of town

This is a terrible idea. Leaving a gun unlocked when you're not home is just begging to have it stolen. If hiding the safe is your worry, Hornady makes ones that are very slim and inconspicuous. Otherwise, I see no benefit to keeping a gun unlocked as opposed to keeping a gun in a small, quickly accessible safe like GunVault's intuitive four button safe. Some people worry about speed, which is valid, but I guarantee you I can get my gun out of that box faster than you can dig yours out of the closet seven days a week.

For the pistol

For the rest, pretty much any freestanding safe should suffice. Especially if you can anchor it to the concrete slab of your home or at least bolt it into the studs.

u/theadguy · 2 pointsr/guns

THIS. Also, here's the gun safe I would recommend. I have two of these, and they are exactly what you need. http://www.amazon.com/Gunvault-GV1000S-Mini-Vault-Standard/dp/B001C601KA/ref=pd_sxp_grid_i_0_2/192-1317695-2177858

And as others have said... keep the firearm loaded. If someone breaks in in the middle of the night, you will NOT have time to load it. Learn how to use the gun... then load it, put it in the safe, and voila.

I have this 4-finger gun combination safe in our master closet that I keep my and my wife's handguns. It's really quick to open - much faster than trying to do one of those little spiral combination locks. It's a little more expensive than some cheaper safes but can be secured/bolted to something and is pretty thick metal. Keeps the guns away from kids (and anyone else) but I can get it open in a couple seconds tops if I really needed to.

I had a bit of a similar interaction, but not to that extreme. My girlfriend had some friends dicking around with guns when they were younger and one kid died. Totally unintentional, but it's why she didn't want anything to do with them.

Anyway, I got in to guns in March of last year. I got in to them hard. I went from 1 gun to a very non-1 number of guns. At one point she said you can't have any more until you get a safe, so I got a safe that weekend. I'm down to operate within her level of comfort, when reasonable, but she knows I'm going to do my own thing. Sounds a bit like the situation you're in.

Since I got in to guns, I've had to have some conversations with her. Like, "What do you plan to do if something bad happens when I'm out of town? Hide? Run? Confront? I need to know what you're able and willing to do if I'm not around."

I ask this because it doesn't just translate to the relationship- do you plan to add kids into the picture down the line?

"What would you do to protect our children?"

Most folks will typically say 'anything'. If you ask your wife, maybe reply with something like "Even use a gun to stop a bad guy?"

That's dipping her toe in the water. Maybe she'd agree to that under the most dire of circumstances.

Play out that conversation over time.

"Well honey, if such a thing were to occur, I'd prefer you know what you're doing. I don't want you hurting yourself, the children, or completely fail at stopping a threat."

Basically, this will require some level of training/exposure. Bring up, again, after some time. Let her think on those things.

As for the immediate future, get your gun. Life doesn't wait for anybody, and neither does death.

Once you have it, you can do what I did. Or not. My girl said it showed responsibility and she appreciated the gesture even though she was, at the time, uncomfortable with the proximity to the gun.

Get some of those neon dummy rounds, and show her how to clear the gun. Let her know the live ammo isn't anywhere around, show her the dummy round, and show her the process of what a loaded mag looks like, a loaded chamber looks like, how to check & clear it, and it looks like when cleared. She doesn't have to touch anything, and the dummy rounds might put her at ease. Or not- feel that out, but my girl appreciated me taking the time to show her, just in case.

Get a lock box too. It doesn't have to be this one or anything particularly fancy, but she'll appreciate you keeping it secured if you're ever not able to carry when you leave home.

A gun vault is a good compromise between safety and quick access for those looking for home defense:

Can be opened in seconds, in the dark.
