pistol or cigars?

The reason behind the safe/need for safety is there will be a little one in the house. Also, being from the north. Im having to argue owning guns with my parents, when i return from the army.

I have a little one in the house who is curious.

Although I have discussed the danger of guns, I keep my pistol in a gunvault on my nightstand.

It has the finger locking device and I can get into it in the dark in about 2 seconds.

It's easily transported and has al ocking cable.

When I travel by car, it comes with me to the hotel and locks to my nightstand there as well and stores my watch and other valuables if I am in the pool.

It gives me peace of mind that a safety wouldn't.

Besides that, I carry a revolver.

you could keep the magazine separate from the pistol. for example the pistol can be in your night stand in a old cigar box for example and the mag can be under your pillow area between the mattress.

also you can load a spent shell in the chamber of the gun and put it in a good holster by your bed. depending how old the little ones are they most likely cant rack it back to spit the casing and if they pull the trigger nothing will happen.

the best thing to do if i were you is show you kid/s the gun and talk to them about it. tell them if they ever see yours or a gun anywhere that they need to tell you. teach them how dangerous it is and explain the purpose of it. if you can maybe take them to a range so they can see it fire and even let them fire it. the younger you teach them to respect the fire arm the better.

remember kids will be kids if you really wanna get a safe i would just get a small combination style (the ones that have the 3 little wheels like a brief case) you can just leave it a few numbers off so you can access it "quickly"

remember nothing will be quicker that a easy to reach loaded gun but like you said you have to account for the safety of the little ones. if you want a home defense weapon then i would get a 12ga and lock up the pistol.

I used to keep my Kimber cocked and locked on my nightstand until I had little ones. Now I have one of these:

For $79 you can't beat it. You can keep more than one pistol or just one and a ton of extra mags, flashlight, etc. It has a 7 digit progammable number combination, and a hard-key backup. It is very quick to open. Not quite as fast as the one you posted, but it is also less than half the price.
