You’re asleep and you wake to a noise. You roll over, swipe a finger and your safe silently pops open. Your home defense gun is at the ready for you to just pull from the pocket, which you do just as the bad guy busts in to the bedroom...
So this is a mental picture that goes through my head frequently but the problem is I don’t see any safes out there that will hang from the side of the bed within easy reach that performs reliably. One model uses a horizontal flat appendage to wedge between the mattress and the bed frame but that model relies on gravity to allow the door to fall outward. If the safe is perfectly vertical sometimes it unlocks, only to relock again preventing access because the door doesn’t fall outward.
You’ve got a house or apartment that has kids and you need to keep the gun secure but quickly at the ready. What safe do you use or recommend that you can reliably get to and quickly retrieve your weapon?
