Speaking of gun safes, from last Friday...
I got butthonholed by the people at GunBox at the NRA Convention. It's a single pistol storage solution with some interesting features.
First, it doesn't LOOK like gun safe. It could be a room de-ionizer. Or a weird charging station. It has 2 usb ports in the back you can use to power your iPad or other devices.
You can screw it down to something, of course.
And it is a biometric device. Now I know what you are saying. Biometrics can be finicky, true. But it stores 100 different 'fingerprints'. I would do that for 100 people, but I would do all my fingers, the pads of my hands, my palms... Any possible thing I might put on the safe in the dark to open it, and it doesn't matter if you put the print on sideways or upside down. It alarms when a unrecognized user attempt to access it or jiggle the safe. It also opens with the accompanying RFID wrist strap or finger ring.
Starts at $300. The GPS tracker model adds to the price.
It's an intriguing hide-in-plain-sight solution if you have kids in the house.

Speaking of gunsafes... When I started blogging, the convnetional wisdom was that a electronic combo was the more secure option over the old style dial/mechanical combination lock. There have been too many failures with electronic locks and too many known ways to hack them for my taste. If I buy a BIG ol' 500 pounder someday as my primary safe, I'd get the dial-combo lock.

I HAD an 800 pounder. Thought 'why bolt it down, it's 800 pounds!'
I was in error!
