Fighting an intruder while you are barefoot and in your boxer shorts isnt really that unrealistic.
Trying to load your magazines under stress can be a real challenge.
If you think you have fat fingers now, just wait until bullets are whizzing by.
A device like this Vaultek lock box can help keep a gun out of unauthorized hands while still keeping it reasonably ready for use in an emergency.
I recommend you store your gun with loaded magazines, with one in the chamber.
This brings up the next question: How should you store it?
I will now focus on how it should be stored.
The author recommends you keep your gun with loaded magazines immediately available. Don’t wait to thumb a few rounds into the mag while someone is kicking in your door.
it’s crucial that you have your guns locked up, but quickly accessible to authorized users.
Methodology
The top method ofhome defense gun storageis a dedicated safe.
Hands down this is the best way to store a gun.
Leaning a rifle against the wall is quick to grab – for both you and a thief when you leave the house. Don’t leave your guns unsecured when not in your immediate presence.
Remember that some of these smaller safes will not prevent your firearm from being stolen.
Just choose wisely which safe you need and where to keep it.
So what is the next question I have to ask?
You need to have your guns locked up, but quickly accessible to authorized users. An attacker will not wait while you fumble with cable locks and other slow devices.
It is, where should I keep my defensive weapon?
For most of us, the quick answer is going to be to keep them in our bedroom.
Good places to store gun safes, depending on size, can be in a bedroom closet.
Every decision you make when storing your gun has a pro and a con. Make sure you understand the ramifications of any choice you make regarding your defensive firearms.
For smaller pistol safes, it may be good inside a dresser drawer.
Conclusion
Every decision you make when storing your gun has a pro and a con.
These things take careful consideration, but there is one that is non-negotiable.
That is having guns locked up when they are stored.
