Gun safety and threat levels

I am a big proponent of carrying firearms for self defense but even if someone is training with me I still will never tell them that they must carry a firearm at all times.   There are a lot of liabilities to carrying firearms and people with certain personalities and character traits can become a liability to the image of responsible gun ownership.  Each of us has a different job in life and some jobs are more dangerous.   Threats of retaliation from gangs is something that occurs when good citizens stand up against them and even recently in Philadelphia a woman was murdered for being a witness to a murder.  What a horrible situation Philadelphia has become.

There are different levels of maturity for each child and it’s up to the parent to determine when a child can handle certain tasks, but leaving firearms around where any child has access to them is a bad idea.  Gunvault gun safes has more than just gun safes for you to consider for home defense.   You can hide and lockup a Carbine or a shotgun if you are creative enough and still have easy access.   There are plenty of non-lethal devices to deploy around your home for young adults to consider in a hostile situation.  CO2 Fire extinguishers are a great example of something that could be used against a break in.

Stealth mode for gun safes

I’ve been in some homes where there were serious gun collectors.   I guess I should feel fortunate that these people trusted me enough to allow me to view their stash of weapons because the liabilities of knowing that people “know” what you have in your home is considerable.   I’ve never heard of a gun collector getting his stuff stolen during a home invasion, but there was a rash of thefts in Bucks County, Pennsylvania a few years ago where the gun thefts occurred in places where the alarm systems didn’t even catch the bad guys.   If you are a gun owner, lock your guns up or get them complete out of sight and out of obvious hiding places.

I was at Shot Show 2011 this year and saw some inventive and interesting items.  The Console Vault for those on the road and the Stealth Vault for people that really want to hide their weapons in furniture ect.   If you have the time and the talent, go for it, but make sure someone in your will knows where you are stashing this stuff or somebody is going to get it at a flea market sale.  Gunvault gun safes are widely know for handgun safes.   I’ve thought about building a safe for an M4 Carbine since I personally believe that a .223 fragmenting round is a better thing to use in a residential neighborhood.

Is your wifes jewelry locked up?

I have suggestion for all of my friends with firearms that are looking to get another gun safe or want to upgrade to something better than what they have.   I have an older model gunvault gun safe that I have to admit, is pretty out dated and there are some design flaws that have been addressed by the newer models.   When the batteries get weak on the older model, the door does not always kick open and after having a failure, I did some research and got a newer one.   A gun safe should be as reliable as a firearm and if you have one that is  not, get rid of it.

All of us have different financial backgrounds, but for those of you that have an investment in jewelry, talk to your wife about locking up all of here diamonds and gold and put it in a gunvault gun safe.   The benefits of putting it in something like this is that it will be somewhat fire proof out of sight, but be easy to access when she’s getting all dolled up for a night out on the town.   If it’s easy to get out, it’s easy to put back in.   For only about $100 you can both lock up a firearm or diamond necklace in the same place.  The deluxe models can easily handle 2 or 3 firearms and your wifes stuff.
