ShotLock Gun Storage Vaults

I want to talk about the shot lock series of vaults and locking and storage devices for your defensive firearms. Now here's the thing. When it comes to securing and staging a defensive firearm we're always going to be compromising because we're compromising security and access. You know, it's our responsibility as firearms owners to make sure that we're preventing unauthorized access to our firearms. And that means securing them.

Now that may mean that you lock your house and inside your house, there's exposed firearms. And you know that anyone coming into your house is authorized or okay to touch your guns. That's cool. But a lot of us have people in our house that are not authorized touch the guns whether that's kids or visitors, maybe it's someone coming over to do a repair job on one of your appliances. You don't want a firearm just laying out on the table where they might get curious and pick it up and accidentally hurt themselves or hurt you.

Obviously, if someone comes into your house intending to do harm or if someone comes into your house when you're not there, someone breaks into your vehicle when you're not there maybe a hotel staff member comes into your room, when you're not there, you don't want them to have access to your firearms and shot lock will help you keep unauthorized access from happening. Now at the same time, as someone who owns firearms for defensive purposes, you want to be able to access those firearms as quickly and as conveniently and as efficiently as you can in an emergency you want to make sure that your firearms are ready and that's where shot lock comes in. Now you've probably heard me talk about quick access safes and staging firearms before. And if you have, you know that I'm a big fan of a single step I wanna make sure that I'm either hitting a biometric. I'm either hitting in a code or I'm using some kind of a RFID card to access my firearms in one simple step.

And the shot lock is a two-step process but here's the thing; what they've done is they've come up with some very large buttons and some gross motor skill options for their two step process. So yes, you enter your code and then you turn the latch. And again, notice it's a big latch and it's a very positive feel on those buttons. And then you can access your stage defensive firearm. Now, the thing about this is what you're compromising with the two-step process is a higher level of security.

And that's what shot lock offers. Whether you're looking at the the the solo vault or you're looking at the shot lock and this one is actually designed specifically for a shotgun. So this is something that clamps around your shotgun but can be hard mounted to a wall. This one here is a quick drawer shot lock which is going to pop open and give you access in a vertical or horizontal storage to your firearm or the traditional portable or mountable shot lock that allows you to access your handgun through this lid. What you're going to get here is a higher level of security and a higher level of safety and prevention of unauthorized access.

Now for me, because I travel around a lot this really appeals to me, you know I've learned over the years that some of the quick access safes that I've relied on in the past to stage my firearms, they're not very secure. The fact is that that in less than 30 seconds you can pop into some of these with a pry bar or just by slamming them down on the ground with the shot lock. It takes me a little bit longer to get into the gun but I'm gaining a lot of security. I'm going to put this firearm to the side for a second and let you take a look at this. This is 14 gauge steel.

I have two latches that are going to be engaged by these locks instead of the traditional one. And I've got a flanged lift area here which is really much stronger than a lot of the other quick access type safes that I've worked with in the past. So this is going to prevent someone from being able to pry into this very easily. It's not as simple as sticking a flathead screwdriver in there and twisting and popping like some of the safes that I've relied on in the past. So I'm really excited about adding the shot lock to my collection of things to secure firearms from unauthorized access but still allow quick access in an emergency situation.

It's a two-step process, but it is a larger gross motor skill, very positive feel on the buttons. I've also got this big latch which is not very easy to find in turn. And of course, I've got a keyed backup situation as well. So take a look at the shot lock series of security products. If you're interested in staging and securing your defensive firearms
