How to secure gun but stay ready for defense

[strife]

Has the biometric method failed you, yet? Does it take a deliberate and steady imprint to release? I am thinking realistically that you might be fumbling around a bit in an emergency and to what degree the biometric safe will work with a nervous hand touching the pad.

Did some testing for you. As you can see, when I tried to go really fast, it failed.

I've only had to open it one time in "distress" and I got it open on the first try. The distress came when my sensor on my door was having issues and it caused my alarm to go off at like 3 AM.

If I were buying another, I'd probably not go for the biometric(they are more expensive as well), but I am not worried about it failing if I ever need it to work... at least not any more worried than I would be with any other sort of lock. Hornady has one now that takes a combination as well as an RFID bracelet or keyfob, but I wouldn't be willing to have something that my kids could pick up and open the safe with lying around, so not real keen on that one.
