Safe Handgun Storage | Unauthorized Access | V-Line Ind.

In this weeks video we are talking about safe storage, unauthorized users, and how I address these things in my own home. It's extremely important to ensure that, as responsible gun owners, we store our firearms appropriately. "Hiding" our firearms is not a reliable way to prevent unauthorized access, but we still want to maintain ways to quickly access a firearm in and around our home.

Thank you for this! The one thing that drives me nuts is when people recommend safes that have those tubular locks on them that can easily be picked opened. Personally, I like the Vaultek 20 safe WITHOUT the Bluetooth and biometric options. I keep one key on me and the spare key in a safety deposit box at a bank.

VLine is the best. Simplex locks are the way to go; no power needed, you can’t lose the key and it works every time, unlike biometric. Their ‘Brute’ model is well named.

Hey thanks, I've been thinking about something like V-line and I will check them out ! Thanks for your content, keep up the good work

[jackpippenstock]

Super useful info; looking forward to the full video on safes. Thank you. Love your content. BTW, Mas Ayoob says he's looking forward to your comments on his book once you finish reading it.

If you do not have kiddos, those old brief cases you used to take to work or find at Good Will, make great secure (not hard) storage for pistols. I used foam inserts and fit 2 pistols with 3 extra mags each, a multi tool, a mag-lula and 2 Tupperware containers for ammo. In the folder section I have targets, spare ears, tape measure, masking tape and markers. I made two. They lock and can be put away when company comes or in the big safe when away. Just great grab and go for the range as well. When home my 442 is always near if not in my pocket. I got the foam at Rockler.

I have no kids in my house. I own two Hornady keyed gun boxes. Both are cabled to the corner post in the room in which they are located. I work from home so I've decided this is enough protection for me and my guests. YMMV.

I would recommend looking at a channel called the Lockpickinglawyer. His criteria for a good gunsafe is one that will keep out a curious teengager. He opens a large number of gunsafes and gun locks using what he calls "low level attacks". By which he means low skill level. Then there's just plain brute force, "how easy will it be to pry open with a large screwdriver? He certainly shows you which safes to avoid.

is there a difference between the no name brand safe at Harbor Freight and the name brands? what is the difference?

[sarahhauptman]

Lol, that outro! 🤣🤣🤣 People be like that.

The newer fingerprint or vain patern recognition quick access safes are cool an all, however it's hard to pass up a good old mechanical lock like the simplex. It works well and has very few downsides.

I personally have a Vaultek Barikade because it was the only decent option I could find on short notice when I bought it. I wanted something with a simplex but it wasn't meant to be. An of course it was for the same reason you have a travel safe, the kiddos. Which isn't a concern for me at home just yet. However my lady's parents just got a new house and now they host people all the time, including families with kids. So I wanted something to restrict access to my lady and I. Prior to this it wasn't a concern. They used to live in a tiny house and never had guests over. So I kept my guns in my Vertx bag in the guest room when visiting.

I also never needed one at home because I rarely have guests over and none of my friends have kids. So I lock up my guns when I leave and unlock my safe when I get home. I also drag a pistol from room to room with me because reasons.

Either way I work at a gun store and it always amazes me how many people don't consider securing their firearms. Especially new gun owners. I get people buying their first gun all the time who look at cheap shotguns like the Maverick 88. But they often don't consider security, even if they have kids. A shotgun may be cheap and easier to aim and shoot accurately. However a good safe will cost way more for that cheap shotgun. Pistols may not be the most effective tools but they are far easier to secure snd transport.

Personally I blame the demonization of firearms in the media and politics. (An to a lesser extent the glorification of firearms in music, games, and movies.) Which lead many schools to stop teaching things like marksmanship, hunters safety, and firearms safety. As a result people who don't grow up around guns (an only know what they've seen or heard in popular culture) often don't consider things like securing access, keeping ammo as far away as possible while cleaning, or even basic range/firearms safety. All of which leads to deaths that could easily be prevented with some actual common since gun education. Instead we get common since gun control... smh. OK... off my soapbox now.

Either way great video. I always enjoy how you cut through the nonsense and get to the point clearly and concisely. You and Luckygunner are some of my favorite presenters in that regard. Even if I can't stand shotguns for home defense. 😋

Moderately helpful info if you don't already know this stuff.... but please stop saying "kiddos" over and over. They're "kids" or "children". I know, "kiddos" is the trendy new buzz word...almost as bad as "awesomesauce"! 😧
