Biometric Gun Safe Equals Better Security

By Jim Wilkinson

There is hardly anything more frightful than being woken from a sound sleep in the dead of night by an intruder. At first you are not sure if you really heard something or you were just imagining the sound. But then the sound is unmistakeable. Someone is inside your home!

You have to do something! OK, lets call the cops first. Good idea. Next, lets get our gun. That's right, it is in our gun safe in the closet. We scurry over to the closet as quickly as we can without making any noise. We pull out our gun case and try to remember the combination or try to find the key in the dark so we can open it and get our gun out. Not real easy to do when you are in such a stressful predicament.

Flash forward to 2009 - Same scenario. Sound asleep when you hear a burglar in your home. Your family is in danger. You quickly dial 911 and then you reach under your bed and pull out your biometric safe. You place your finger on the pad and instantly the safe pops open and your gun is in your hand! Now, the outcome of this dangerous situation can be a lot different.

This biometric technology is now being used in our everyday lives. It provides greater security for our guns and valuables. We have all seen instances on our favorite TV shows where biometric technology is being used today. It can control access to rooms, it can secure bank deposit boxes. It might look like something out of the future but retinal scanners are becoming more and more commonplace as a means to secure access to a building or an individual room.

The same thing is true with our biometric gun safe. The unit reads and stores the fingerprint pattern on our thumb or whichever finger we choose and when we want to open the biometric gun safe we simply place our designated finger on the scanner pad. The unit sees that that fingerprint pattern is one that you instructed it to allow access to the safe.

Biometrics technology has just recently become available to the general public. The technology will no doubt be used in other applications soon.

A biometric gun safe is more secure than the older style gun safes. No matter how well we try to protect our children they often find a way to get into a gun safe. Usually with very unhappy results. That sad news story has been played over and over again. Keeping your gun and ammo in a biometric safe is an excellent way to protect our children.

Keep your family as safe as possible and replace your old gun safe with a new biometric gun safe. You will not have to worry about unauthorized access. The only people that will be permitted to open it are the ones that you designate.

Being able to get to your gun quickly is very important. More important perhaps is making sure that your children cannot open it.

After all, security is what it is all about. - 29956
