Quick Access Lock Boxes for Home Defense Shotgun/Carbine Storage
The current nationwide controversy about home firearms storage has prompted many readers to e-mail us to inquire about methods in which they can safely store a long gun kept for home defense.
We're aware of one company that offer quick-access lock box-type security containers designed specifically for shotguns and rifles.
While we haven't had the opportunity to examine these products for ourselves, we thought many of you would appreciate learning about them so you can investigate for yourselves to determine if these lock boxes meet your needs.

Our product review will be published in an upcoming issue of FirearmsTactical™. We've been testing the GunVault for several months in a manner similar to the way we tested the SafTLok magazine lock. We invite you to find out what we think of it.
