The Safety of Biometric Gun Safes
Unfortunately, when it comes to protecting your family from intruders you're put in a sticky situation with how and where to store your weapon.
Should an intruder break into your home it would do you no good if can not get to it quickly.
On the other hand it is dangerous to leave a weapon lying around where curious children can easily get to it.
What can you do? This is where a biometric gun safe can alleviate your worries.
These safes use a technology that can scan your fingerprints to activate or deactivate the locking mechanism.
As quickly as you can place your hand on the scanning pad you'll be able to get to your weapon.
Another feature that some biometric safes include is adding different users like your spouse or a responsible adult.
Now, if you aren't home an individual you've designated can open the safe and protect your family while at the same time keeping your children from become a tragic statistic.
Prices vary according to the size of the safe.
The larger models will have bigger prices as well as those with added features.
Lower cost safes may only allow one set of fingerprints which could be problematic if you're the sole programmed user but you're not home.
You can also find safes which use both biometric readings along with a key or combination but this alone raises the chances of a break-in.
Even with a biometric only safe you can have false readings when using your fingerprints and might have to try several times before a scan is accepted.
This however is still quicker than trying to open the safe with a key or dial a combination.
Programming your biometric pistol safe can be easy enough when you bring it home.
The system will allow an individual to become the primary programmer who will give access to other people if your unit allows for more than one user.
Once you have programmed the safe with your fingerprints then you can add as many as it allows or as many as you decide.
