Firearm deactivation or gun safes?

I grew up in a home where there was no firearm available but my Dad was always very smart about the way he conducted himself in the home.  I’ve actually witnessed my Father defend My Mother and family with his bare hands so I knew he wasn’t a wimp in anyway.   We had timers on lights and when we went away on vacation he knew not to announce it to the public.  Little things like that are just as good as having an alarm system on your home.  The differences between  those two are almost the differences between using cover or concealment in a defensive situation.

When it comes to storing a firearm in  your home that you want to be available for self defense, handguns are easy to put away in a quick access gun safe, but shotguns or rifles are another.  I personally would shy away from a rifle being used in the home because of the volume, but gunvault has the breechvault that you can use on a shotgun if your shotgun is your primary home defense gun.   The Breechvault can deactivate your gun while  you mount it in a closet or other area of the home that only you have a key to and if need be, it’s not tucked away in a gun safe with a dial combination lock that might take 10 seconds or more to open up.

There is no compromise anymore

Everyone in the concealed carry market talk about concealment and which firearm is easier to hide, but those debates have so many variables and just like trying to get a pair of pants to fit on everyone of different sizes, it’s just not going to work for everyone.   There are some things which remain constant and there is no variable and that one issue is gun safety.   I’m not just talk about range safety and gun handling, I’m also talking about where you put your firearm and how you prevent others from getting  a hold of it.  I have several friends that told me that they grew up with firearms that were not locked up, but things are different now.

If you look at the statistics on firearm thefts and how guns end up in the streets, its always straw purchase and gun thefts.   IF you are looking to have an alarm system installed in your home consider this, most gunvault safes are very easy to bolt into areas that are hard to find and given the modern biometric technology, you aren’t compromising your ability to retrieve a firearm quickly and you reduce your chances of having your stuff stolen if you do have a break in.  Most burglars want to move fast and they can’t find the safe or it’s in a hard to detach location chances are you will not loose your stuff.

gun safes that don’t burn money

Ever since I had a family and knew that I was going to have kids around the house that would eventually figure out where Dad kept his firearms, I picked up several gun safes.   There are some pretty expensive gun safes out there, namely the biometric safes, but those are really meant for quick access use of firearms.   One safe isn’t necessarily better than the other, it’s really about what you intend to do with it.   Some of these gunvault gun safes are really good for storing jewelry or personal records like birth certificates ect.   In this day and age there are many reasons why you will want to know where you birth records are for your kids because they need to be submitted for many reasons.

The gun safes that we are actually selling the most are the gunvault nano vault safes.   The reason these safes are selling so well is they are easy to  use and the least expensive gunvault safes we stock.   For less than $40 you can get an easy to store and move gun safe.   They are great for travelling especially for people that are in and out of hotels.   There are plenty of situations where you may not be able to bring a firearm with you and leaving it loaded in a room where a room cleaner may come is not a  good idea.   Lock it up and hide it under a bed or in a corner.

Less lethal weapons in the home

All I have to do is give  you a ballistics demonstration in a modern home to show you how dangerous it would be to fire off a 9mm round and at what point it would actually stop.   That modern construction may be efficient in keeping the cold out, but an exacto-knife and a hammer can get into your home faster than the big bad wolf could huff and puff and blow your house down.   Many police departments moved from the MP5 to the M4 Carbine because of penetration issues and I would highly recommend people consider using a Carbine or shotgun instead of  handgun caliber weapons.  One shotgun blast of size 4 shot can do an awful lot of damage in short ranges and the liabilities of bullets going astray and hitting neighbor are very limited.

I have seen ballistics testing where an M4 Carbine with frangible ammo penetrated less than a 38 special and if you live in a home with other people. Missed targets mean unstopped bullets.   I would not hesitate to tell people to consider less lethal weapons in their home.  You can use a gunvault gun safe to hide them in for the same reason you might want to lock up your guns.   Being on a second floor and spraying mace or pepper spray down the stairs is enough to prevent an attacker from coming up and a taser can easily fit into a gun safe.  Why not think about less lethal weapons, hide them in various points in your house for the what ifs and hide them in something like a gunvault microvault or minivault.
