Guns in safe: Locked or not?

[jedi]

For those members that have safe.
Do you lock your guns (ie. trigger lock, cable lock, etc..) for those ones inside the safe?

 

[snowrs]

I do not, in fact at least 1 is loaded as well.

 

[Sylvain]

No for me the safe is enough to keep unauthorized persons away from the guns.
If someone is skilled enough to crack open my safe I dont think that a cable lock would slow him down or do anything at all.That would just slow ME down in case I want to access my gun quickly.
I keep my gun loaded (magazine full and chamber empty) with no cable lock or anything else besides the protection of the safe itself.

 

[JohnP82]

No trigger or cable locks here.

In the gun safe no. all handguns are in their own soft pistol case but that is about it. Long guns are not in socks or anything. No loaded firearms in safe.

Handgun in lockbox next to bed. shotgun in locking mount next to bed. AR15 in rifle case at top of closet

 

[LuckyGunner]

The safe is secure enough for me that I don't feel the need to lock the firearms separately.

I have all of my cable locks hanging from the safe with the keys in them. That way if I need to use one for transport they are available.

I keep my pistol loaded in safe with no trigger lock or cable lock. All ammo and magazines to the long guns are locked in safe. I don't keep any type of lock on the long guns outside of the safe, I just make sure no ammo is accessible.

 

[melensdad]

No trigger locks on any of my guns, in or out of the safe.

Never had them.

 

[bigus_D]

No loaded guns or additional locks inside my locked safe. I do lock my carry pistol loaded in a drawer safe when not carrying it though.

 

[Bunnykid68]

I have a trigger lock in the original package that it came in.

 

[possum_128]

All my guns are loaded and ready to go at all times in my safe. No need for trigger locks when in a safe.

 

[rockhopper46038]

No secondary locks here either.

 

[Bunnykid68]

Hell, I actually got guns just laying around for convenience.

 

[slipnotz]

Why would you lock a gun that is stored in a safe?

 

[Patrolman1981]

No locks on guns in safes. One handgun on my person or beside the bed at all times.

 

[IndyGunner]

Locks are just going to get me killed. Granted I have no children running around (thankfully), but if they are in a safe, why further complicate self defense.

First thing I did when I got my two glocks and ak (most recent) was throwing the locks away.

Whats a trigger lock?

Safe is more than enough to secure the guns.

I have my safe locked up, but I do not trigger lock or do anything to the guns themselves - except keep the shotguns loaded!

 

[Sylvain]

Why would you lock a gun that is stored in a safe?

Because the anti-2A would like you to do it.
Come on man think of the children!

They want you to have your gun locked in a safe, with a lock on the gun itself and stored unloaded of course.Ammo in a secont safe, possibly a mile away from the gun.
This way no more children will be hurt right, because we all know that 100% of the kids that get shot are shot with loaded guns stored in safes.

 

[Titanium Man]

I have all my dozens of trigger/cable/pad/locks from gun purchases still in the original packaging, just waiting for use somewhere else like in my barns or sheds locking something that should be locked.

We have no kids, and a locked gun would be a useless tool in my house, especially if we needed it fast for a home invasion or break in.

The guns in the safe are not locked either, obviously. Quite a few are loaded, also.

Also, I methodically lock my safe each time after use. I've heard several cases of people getting broken into, and all the thief had to do, was simply turn the handle, and everything was right there in one place for them to steal.

What a waste.
