If you are someone who wants to have a gun in your house, but wants to make sure that you store it in the safest way possible, you will need to invest in a gun safe. Fortunately, there are many options when it comes to gun safes to ensure that you can find the right fit to suit your needs. The following guide walks you through a few of the gun safe options that are available to you.

Single Weapon Mounted Safe

A single weapon mounted safe is a small safe that can be mounted just about anywhere in your home that you choose. Be sure that you take the time to consider how the safe opens before you mount it so that you can be sure you can gain access to your weapon with ease when needed. Many of the mounted safes have a fingerprint scanner that unlocks the safe. Since the mounted safes are so small, the fingerprint scanner allows you to get into the safe quickly, rather than having to try to push small buttons to open it during an emergency.

Single Weapon Moveable Safe

There are also single weapon moveable safes that are designed to be portable so that you can take your weapon with you when you travel. The moveable safes are lightweight and can have a fingerprint scanner, a combination lock, a keyed lock, or a digital lock on them.

Multiple Weapon Safe

If you are someone who enjoys owning many weapons, a multiple weapon safe may be the best option for you. The multiple weapon safe has shelves built into it at varying heights so that you can store long barrel weapons as well as pistols all in one place. The multiple weapon safes typically have a digital, combination, or fingerprint scanner locking mechanism. The multiple weapon safes are often very heavy and cannot easily be moved from one place to another.

It is important to make sure that you store or mount the single weapon safes in a place where you can easily get to your weapon if something happens in the middle of the night that requires you to access it quickly. Do not tell anyone where your gun safe is located if you choose to use a mounted or moveable safe. That is private information that you should keep to yourself to ensure that no one attempts to gain access to your weapon.
