Beginners should look at comfort when buying Gun Cabinets or Gun Safes
Sometimes when buying gun cabinets or gun safes, beginning skeet shooters tend to read reviews trying to find the best value price-wise. However, they also need to consider whether they feel their purchase of gun cabinets or gun safes is shotgun safe around children. Have you taken the necessary precautions to keep a gun cabinet high enough that children cannot access it and get their hands on guns. This is one way a homeowner can be shotgun safe.
Did you know that cabinets many times do not have the same safety features as gun safes? This does not make cabinets any less safe in terms as shotgun safety than safes, if the proper precautions are taken. For instance, special childproof clasps can be purchased in order to make gun cabinets ‘shotgun safe’ and not accessible to children. Many older gun cabinets can be retrofitted with these clasps that lock so that children do not have access to guns.
Does this make gun safes more ‘shotgun Safe’?
This is the aim with a safe. You will definitely be making a gun less likely to go off by storing it away in a safe away from kids and teenagers. At the same time it may be a good opportunity for parents to discuss shotgun safety and stress no shotgun is safe to a child. Safes can have child prevention measures installed. However, if they are not used and understood properly, a child can still get a gun and the equipment is not shotgun safe.
Before you buy, ask a professional about the features of a cabinet or safe if you are concerned about shotgun safe equipment and being shogun safe around children. Do you like the ease of being able to walk over and open a cabinet rather than have to remember a numbered code or have the guns on display for friends to see? As long as the necessary safety precautions are taken and you install a child-proof clasp locking gun cabinet doors, a cabinet is shotgun safe. There is no need to feel you should choose one over the other, as both are safe to have in homes as long as proper safety measures are taken around children. This way, gun owners can get what they feel comfortable having in their home, even if they like the assurance gun safes bring.
