Are gun locks obsolete?

I’ve come to the conclusion that unless you are traveling and want to prevent someone from using a firearm against you on the road, gun locks are pointless to keep on a firearm.   As a matter of fact let me revise my opinion.   Gun locks are a waste of money and do not make your firearm more safe.  The traditional two piece gun lock the locks inside the trigger guard if  not absolutely rock solid tight can still cause a firearm to shoot if bumped.   What’s the frickin point of that?   Keep the gun unloaded and store the ammunition in a hidden place.  If the point is to keep children away from them, put them in a safe.  If you are concerned about theft or fire damage, get a gun safe.

With the advent of Biometric technology, many reasons for not locking up a firearm are now over.   I think  you are asking for more problems if you leave a loaded gun in your home and it is not in a safe.  Guns can get used against  you and children know how to get into things when Mom and Dad aren’t around. Gunvault gun safes are more diverse in application then from years ago and I have a few Biometric safes that are holding up as advertised.  They work great for keeping money and jewelry in and the Nanovault NV 100 is something I travel with.

Transporting guns while travelling

Whenever I go away on vacation, I have to pay attention to the States that we are crossing into because some of the States are not CCW friendly at all.  As a matter of fact, I’d be a criminal and get thrown in jail if I carried a gun in some States.   Every once in awhile I hear about a story about someone that crossed into a State with unloaded firearms and ran into a bad cop and ended up not knowing how to deal with the person and got into problems.   One way to avoid the situation is to keep your guns out of sight, avoid getting yourself into a situation where it’s obvious that you have a car load of firearms.

Another thing to think about is actually putting small gun safes like the Gunvault gun safes inside your car for added security.   There were a few major incidences in recent years of gun owners getting their cars broken into in and around gun shows because criminals would wait for them to stop and go into a restaurant or food store and then make their smash and grab.   A gun show vendor actually lost several thousand dollars of firearms because of something like this.  Conceal you firearm when you are carrying and conceal and lock up your guns when travelling.

Security the size of a notebook

Gunvault

 

Many of us that carry and are going on business trips may not like the idea of hiding a gun in a hotel room just to find out some  thug got a hold of it and may use it against us.
Sure that given enough time any criminal will be able to break a safe open, but atleast know that they won’t be standing in your hotel room with one of the handguns you left in a suitcase is going to be used against you when you walk into a room.   There is a Biometric version of this safe for even more security model MVB500.  These can easily be used for the Mrs. Jewelry, too.   The gunvault microvault is the size of a notebook and weighs about 5lbs.

Gunvault gun safes has a new gun safe called the GunVault Microvault.  This gun safe is the answer that many have been looking for.   For several years I have heard about issues concerning storing guns in a car or bringing them on the road for travel.   There are times when we can not bring our guns with us and the idea of leaving a gun out in the open and not locked or hidden away is a bad idea.

Got kids? Lock your stuff up!

GunVault Gun SafesThere has been a major shift in the attitudes of a lot of gun owners.   I remember the days when gun owners would never want to have to think about locking their handgun in a safe, especially if it was their bedside pistol.    Back in the day, we all had Grandfathers that kept guns laying around, but the stats show that accidents happen and kids will find them if they are not locked up.   If you don’t have kids around this is a none issue, but if you do, you may want to do some thinking.

What happened that changed peoples attitude about locking guns up?   Well, technology has caught up with the reasoning for having quick access to a handgun.   Years ago a gun safe meant using a key or combination to open and that can be cumbersome and slow if you really had to get to your gun at 3am.    GunVault gun safes have been through a few updgrades in the last few years and the safes they are putting out now are much better than the ones they had a few years ago.   The Key pad buttions are easier to feel and like all things,  a little practice time and your hands will do what they need to without thinking.   There is also a biometric version that can read your fingerprints which elimates the possibility of a kid gaining access to your guns.  The GVB200 will open up at soon as you place your hand on the sensor.
