In my country, the law requires anyone who possesses a gun to buy a proper safe,where It'd be stored when not used. The country is very safe and the likelihood that you'd ever need to use it while at home is close to zero, however situations where a burglar could walk out with a registered gun and potentially cause endless problems for the owner down the line is more probable,so a good safe sounds like a good idea.
- gkop 5y agoJust a heads up, but that safe would need to be mighty hard to dislodge and/or be extremely thick. The long gun safes from Costco are easily dislodged and sawn through. My understanding is the safe should be built into the wall, exposing only its toughest, front side.
- eitland 5y agoAround here the rules are: - must be approved by the insurance companies (they have a test procedure that IIRC is to have two experienced persons try to break it using anything up to and including hand held power tools) - must weight 150kgs or - be bolted to the floor from the inside
- ashtonkem 5y agoA lot of the wildly insecure locks he reviews came with the guns themselves. Given how many people will go with the default option in any circumstance, this is alarming.
- throwaway0a5e 5y agoThe only reason people buy "nice" locks is because the cheap ones can be fiddly (and it should be obvious why that might be undesirable). Trigger locks are dumb compliance box checking exercise that provides little security (for mostly the same bunch of reasons anything short of full disk encryption doesn't help you if you lose your device). Of course they're cheap and crappy by default. Anyone who wants security buys a safe.
