Shotgun Security

[willis68]

I am looking into getting something like this

Where my Shotgun can be very accessible but at the same time secure.

Anyone used one of these or have any better suggestions?

No, I've never used anything like that. I keep my guns in a safe while I'm not home. When I get home, I take out what I need.

If I were to ever need a gun, it would likely be in a hurry, and I'd rather not fight with a lock while my adrenaline is pumpin' a million miles an hour.

Plus, seconds could be the difference between life and death. Simply not worth it to me.

If you must get one, I'd get the easiest one to operate.

does concealment mean security or does it need to be locked up away from kids, etc.

Locked away from the kids, I have a proper gun safe, what I am looking for a way to keep the Shotgun close to my bed but secured from my little ones..

willis....wouldnt that be a lil hard to get too though if you had to turn the key and unlock it if someone busted the door in? Maybe im not looking at it right, but to me its a fancy trigger lock that mounts on the wall.

If there is one without the lock and just a button that would be great, I have been searching for one

I believe, and don't hold me to this. A standard shotgun lock, llike those used in a patrol car can be converted to be used inside a home. Someone told me that they used a battery like a home alarm battery to function it. It is 12 volt. You could just use the key when it wasn't an emergency.

Not sure if it will work, but I am sure that someone on here will be electrically minded enough to answer.

you could get an ac/dc converter and plug the converter in a household 110v outlet and then plug the 12volt unit into the converter

also, several patrol car locks have a key, but also a hidden switch in case you need it in a hurry, I've seen where a car had an extra mic next to the seat, it wasn't a mic, but a modified/hidden switch for the shotgun. might be something to think about.
