child safe shotgun storage

Get a cheappy gun safe

If you have only 1 gun it will come in handy to store cameras, etc. A gun that is partially disasembled is pretty useless for HD. With a gun safe, you are only one key and a twist of the wrist from your gun in whatever state of readiness you prefer.

Educating your kids, not to mind your wife, is a good idea, but what about every other person in the world who might be in your house for whatever reason under whatever circumstance? A safe leaves your gun reasonably safe and out of sight.
 
My first thought was a cable lock. Here in CA you can't but a firearm without a cable lock. A lot of the firearms sold here come with a lock in the box. Also, as mentioned above, you can get a fairly cheap gun safe for $150 or so and it would be sufficient. That's what my parents have now and have used for as long as I've been alive.
 
I ended up buying a Beretta 391 URIKA2. Took it up a notch from my original plan of a 3901. I will be receiving it in a few days. I'm going to buy a cable lock, trigger lock and locking case. And that's that.
 
Education is the best safety feature you can "buy". I tought my wife to shoot my handguns, bought my girls (12-10-7) their own .22 they all have shot. My oldest is handling/loading/shooting my .22 now. All my kids learned at a young agtoue guns are tools and not to touch them. Educate everyone.
 
A 8 gun security cabinet would be useful. Keeps the kids out of it.

A another thought would one of the in wall two gun security cabinets. I would recommend in wall installation unless you feel pretty comfortable doing home repairs ect. Because it does require finding an open stud bay and cutting through the wall board without hitting wires plumping or other bad things.
