What the heck is that safe's combination? That is a question that has gone the way of the pioneers of old. Today's biometric gun safes store guns, legal papers, important correspondence and other items, safely and easily. One example of a biometric gun safe is the BARSKA. Weighing in at nearly 29 pounds it is heavy enough to make removing it by an intruder, cumbersome and yet, just right for concealed home use.
One purchaser commented that he bought the Barska for the express purpose of storing his guns and found that there was adequate room to also store important documents, passports and other items. The biometric fingerprint identification "combination" makes access extremely difficult for anyone but the owner of the stored fingerprints. A second reviewer reflected on the enticement that traditional locks and combinations have for kids. The biometric identification system removes this and the urge to break into the safe.
The Gunvault GVB2000 Multi Vault Biometric Gun Safe has a "you name it and we've thought of it" security system. Realizing the necessity of keeping guns out of the hands of anyone but the licensed owner has moved the Gunvault GVB2000 to the highest standard of security. One reviewer noted the exactness of the fingerprint recognition of this biometric gun safe. This same person tried many times before he positioned his finger in the correct manner allowing the safe to be opened.
The Biovault Biometric Safe with Fingerprint Reader is a less expensive biometric gun safe. This compact vault has multiple storage possibilities such as guns, legal papers, jewelry, discharge papers, and nearly anything else you might decide upon.
Those who have purchased this biometric gun safe state that the ease of opening the vault is nearly unbelievable. The swipe their finger over the reader and the safe opens in a second or less. This eliminates anyone miraculously coming upon the numerical combination. This vault is easily moved for relocation in the home or when moving to another home.
One of the most compact biometric gun vaults is the Sequiam Biometrics® BioVault 2.0 which is endorsed by the NRA firearms safety instruction program. Despite our wanting to believe that our children will not play with items in safe and secure places, they are often the first ones to find those places and to want to explore what is securely locked behind closed doors. Unless someone has identical fingerprints to those that are registered, this vault is safe.
The BIO Biometric Fingerprint SAFE BOX Jewelry Gun Car is the most portable of the biometric gun safes that we have reviewed. Along with the fingerprint reader is the well built, all steel outer container which provides one of the highest levels of protection.
Several websites have compiled statistics regarding the number of handguns owned by civilians in the United States. They have found that the United States' population is 273 million and that firearms (handguns, rifles, and shotguns) are owned by 235 million civilians.
These numbers certainly speak to the necessity of firearms owners taking responsibility to purchase and use firearm safes that cannot be easily breached. Once again, biometric gun safes appear to have a huge edge over those requiring numeric combinations.
