That\u2019s a difficult question and the answer is that every thing that makes it more accessible decreases how secure the firearm is. So a balance must be struck based on risk\/benefit ratios. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Questions that need to be answered right away are things like:  Do I have small children or adults that are uneducated or have poor decision making abilities that could reach an unsecured firearm?  If I left my firearm in this location and left my house without it, would it be readily available for theft?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many small safes with touch button locking devices that can be subtly placed near your bed, in a bedside table, etc.  These simple devices are great for preventing small children from inadvertently accessing a firearm but they will do little to dissuade a thief.  What are your goals?   Can you use a small bedside one at night and then carry the gun on your person during the day?   If your home defense tool is a long Gun such as a shotgun, perhaps it can be locked in a more secure location as part of your morning routine.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your options will depend on what your lifestyle is.  But think through the likely and unthinkable scenarios to come up with a balance of speed and safety that works for you.  Be responsible.   Be smart.  Be vigilant and prepared.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Copywrite Kjell Rosenberg 02\/2020<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the questions I regularly field is this; \u201chow do I keep my gun accessible but be responsible with it as well.
