I keep a 9mm in my garage and a 45 in my bedroom.I have kids so I bought mini gun vaults for each gun.there made by a company called gunvault.they have a embeded hand print on top so you can olpen them in the dark in about two seconds.It would have been really nice if you had one in your garage.and if you ever do have to use them shoot to kill or don't shoot at all,you would'nt want them to come back and sue you.and most important tell the cops you feared for your live and did'nt have a choice.
