Gunvault Safes better to lock them up and find a better hiding place
We are always paying attention to the crime statistics and asking our local police departments what the stories really are. Things like Home invasions are typically retaliation for someone in the family losing drug money or something else along those lines. For a small percentage of the home invasions where there was no determinable reason for it other than robbery or rape, there are still reasons to make sure you avoid letting people know what you own and for God’s sake, close your windows at night and don’t announce to every person walking by your home at night on where the fine China is. The same thing goes with who you let into your house and who knows where you keep your firearms. Like most people the closet is where the guns and gunvault safes are but you might want to consider throwing a sweater or towel over the safe when it’s in there. Most home invasions are during the day when you won’t be home and even if you have an alarm system, the master bedroom is where they most likely will go.
There are pros and cons to any locking system, yes, it can slow you down by a small fraction of time, but kids can get into even gun safes if you give them enough time or have it in a location they can keep guessing the combination. There are various alarm settings and lockout options for Gunvault Safes but if you are a home owner, I’d highly recommend putting some creativity into using furniture, picture frames or some other concealment for your safes. If you are like me and walking in and out of Government Buildings all the time or high security zones, sometimes even outside a Police Station isn’t the best place to leave a gun under a car seat, smash and grabs take a few seconds and if they can’t break a window and lift it out, they probable won’t get it. Locking cables are a really good idea to attach to your gun safe. Expect to see a lot of gunvault safes in our stores in the coming months because not enough people are locking up their firearms.
