How to secure gun but stay ready for defense

[TinStar]

good info, thanks Tin.

I like the idea of a keypad, especially if it was backlit. I'll go take a look.

Well. none of these safes I have mentioned are backlit. They all have keypads that you can feel the buttons. I can open any of these safes with my eyes closed. There are only 4 buttons and they are in 2 rows of 2 so you can easily figure out which button is 1 2 3 4 etc. The thing about backlighting is these safes are all designed to be quiet and dark so if someone gets into your house, you can open it without the intruder really knowing you are there.
