Keeping Dad away from the EDC

[Krichardson]

How about a gun magnet? You could mount your gun on the underside of your bedframe,table or just inside of your closet.

This is what I have in my nightstand, quick access and works well.

If you dont mind a key, Harbor Freight sells a simple security box for $18

Thanks, but I was looking for more immediate access.

A Holster?

A perfectly reasonable concept. However, Mom likes the house somewhat ... ummm ... sauna-like, and just turning the ceiling fan on low when the thermostat is reading 85°F sends her for the fleece blanket. I am fine with hot and humid outside, but I work from home (IT) and the combination of heat and holster is not conducive to productivity at this time.

I suppose I could break out my shoulder rig (Miami Classic II) for round-the-house wear and switch back to IWB when I dress to head out...

I bought a V-line 2912-s about 7 years ago. I've kept my holstered edc's in there since. It can hold 2 easily (g26 and lc9s). It has a simplex lock system. I can open it one handed in the dark. Fast and easy. About $185.

I didn't want biometric or batteries or anything like that.

I'm gonna give this another look. I like the concept, need to investigate the execution.

Thanx

I bought one of these at Sam's Club on sale for $50. I just wanted something to keep 2 handguns in that would keep them away from the rugrats. Like you, I didnt want to mess with fingerprints. So far, it has done exactly what I need, but just as a fair warning, there is one major downside. If you booger up the code the first time, you might as well dig out the key, because it takes a while to reset before you can try entering the code in again.

Having to reset when I want the gun RIGHT FREAKING NOW is kind of a no go for me. Thanks, though

Just thinking outside the box here, if your dad is old and addled, it should be easy to hide the thing.

Solid point.

Put it in a shoebox on the top shelf of the closet, something where you need to step on a toolbox or something to reach it.

Yeah, I'm recovering from leg surgery, so this won't work for me in the near term.

Or just a screw-top container where you have to depress a tab to turn the lid. Ever see old folks try to open child-proof bottles? They ask the nearest child to open them.

Also solid. I could probably build something like that.

But it's EASY to hide things from people who keep losing their own watches and wallets and glasses.

Sadly true, my good man.

Thanks for triggering some thought processes.

If I lived alone, sure. But if he sees me use it once it loses any sense of security.
