Gun Security

Numerous factors come in play when deciding the best solution for securing a gun. Your environment, the ages of any children in the home, and the number of guests in your home should be considered when shopping for guns for sale.

The majority of people will agree the following is standard protocol for any gun owner:

  • Guns should not be accessible to children and unauthorized persons including visitors to the home.
  • The gun should be readily accessible to the gun owner in the event of a home invasion or other danger.
  • The place of storage should be burglar proof.

Types of gun security: Trigger locks are one of the cheapest solutions to keep unauthorized persons from firing the weapon. A trigger lock will not prevent theft, but it will prevent the firing of the weapon by all but the most determined of children. The locks provide scant protection, and are broken without specialized tools. Today, any guns for sale that are shipped come with a trigger lock.

Concealment is some people’s choice: People are really inventive in hiding their guns; unfortunately burglars know all the secret places. Don’t assume your child doesn’t know where the gun is, he/she has probably seen you put it there without your knowledge.

There are a number of products available for hiding handguns in. Books, picture frame vaults, fake food boxes, furniture with secret drawers-the list could continue indefinitely. Unfortunately, if it is publicly available a thief will be aware of it.

Digital safes provide owner access. Digital safes are one of the best options to secure your handgun from children and other unauthorized in-home would-be users. However, unless you bolt them down, a burglar will just carry them away. A frequent complaint is the short battery life.

Quick access desk vaults are an excellent option for offices, even the home office. They also depend upon batteries.

Wall safes can be a excellent option to secure your guns, Mounted between the studs they won’t be simply carried away. They are available for handguns or rifles.

Choosing a Fireproof Gun Safe

Consider looking at all the options, do some research and know what you need. No need making an investment that is too far-reaching. Look at many different brands of safes before you buy. Many offer unique options that you may want. Also, investigate the safe’s specifications and ask about its safeguards against tampering. Lastly, invest in a fireproof gun safe.

As you consider the right fireproof gun safe, you need to look at the fireproof rating it carries. When you look at the fireproof ratings, you will see a time limit and a temperature listed. Most fire resistant safes meet basic fire protection standards, with the minimum being able to withstand a 1200⁰F temperature for up to 30 minutes. This means the temperature inside the safe shouldn’t exceed about 275⁰F during those 30 minutes. Your guns should come out okay. A more expensive, premium safe might be rated at 1200⁰F for up to 100 minutes. The response time of your local fire department would be a consideration. If you live close to the station and they can respond within a few minutes, a 100 minute rating might be more than you need. Also, make sure the safe you purchase has a fire seal. This will appear as a flat strip of material around the perimeter of the door, which expands to seal the door when it gets hot.
