So I am in the market for a bedside pistol safe. I am open to most configurations: Drawer, mounted on side of bedside table, out in the open... The more I look there seem to be a lot of options, and major price variance, from a combination safe not specifically designed for firearms, to biometric fast opening safes for a couple hundred bucks...
My motivation is that I need to have a pistol close at hand, VERY secure (I have two boys, 1 and 4) and readily accessible (no key necessary)
What are your experiences with these? Is biometric worth the cost? Are non-gun safes at a big disadvantage (they tend to be cheaper)?
(We can skip the "teach your kids better and leave the gun loaded on the night stand" discussion... not happening.)
