⇒Every firearm should be stored UNLOADED Hiding your gun is ineffective and illegal.
There are a number of safe storage devices available that we recommend:-
FREE STANDING/ FULL SIZE SAFES: Varying in size, a larger floor safe offers many conveniences. Depending on the size of your firearms collection, a larger safe can not only accommodate all of your guns, it can also offer protection for important documents, money, jewels or anything else you may value and need to protect from theft.
HANDGUN SAFES: Various forms of handgun safes are available.They range in size from a bit bigger than a shoebox and go up to the size of a microwave and have either a key lock or a combination lock on the door.
CABLE LOCKS FOR TRIGGER GUARD AREAS: These are similar to a bicycle cable lock. A cable runs through the trigger guards area and is secured with a key lock. These are quite inexpensive, costing less than about $25.
TRIGGER LOCKS: These function much like a padlock. A mechanism that covers the entire trigger guard area and is secured with a key.
