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.
