concealed carry question
« on: April 05, 2009, 03:43:29 PM »
So I've been trying to think of a way to make it easier for the lady friend to carry.  She owns a S&W .38 J-frame.  She is a good shot and knows how to haddle guns, but her sister moved in with her and she has two children under the age of 1 1/2 years.  My girlfriend use to carry her gun on a regular baisis, but since the kids are around most of the time, and they like to play with her purse, so she keeps it locked up in the safe now.  My question is if anyones has some good ideas of how she could carry the gun, keep it safe from the kids while still keeping it easily accessible?

Nupe,

The best I can come up with is a quick safe for the hand gun when home (you know one of those finger ID type, quick open things) and then put it in her purse only when she goes out.
All tipoes and misspelings are copi-righted.  Pleeze do not reuse without ritten persimmons  :D

Kids under 2, the link by ericire, is excellent.

Got one for myself, for the wife's "tribe" that comes down. The rest are in the safe, but I keep a wheel gun in the "quickie box"

when the little people are around.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

There used to be trigger locks that were operated by pressure, not a key. They were designed so a small child wouldn't have the strenghth to open them but an adult would. Alternatively she could just use a regular trigger lock. I mean compared to all the rest of the crap found in the average purse it wouldn't add that much weight and it should keep the ankle biters away.

That's the kind of thing I meant (Thanks e12).

FQ, ALL of the trigger locks I have ever seen are unsafe, can be easily defeated and often will fire without removal.

 Could teach the children to stay OUT of her purse and not mess with things that are not theirs.

I use one of the small safes myself, lagged into a closet shelf.  It opens in about two seconds.  Make sure you replace the batteries on a regular basis.  I use mine every day because of the phugged up laws in this state.

Kids will get into the strangest things and the minute you tell em to leave something alone their "I gotta look" switch is activated...That little one Eric links too is alot smaller than mine, looks like it would be great for the car or truck...

Beat the ever loving crap out of kids for getting into things they shouldn't.  Worked on me.

But, since we can't do that anymore....one of the quick safes is almost MANDATORY for a gun owner.
God bless, and sincere thanks to all our fine people in uniform.  You pay for our freedom, and for that we owe you all we can give you.  Thank you.

I think a Gunvault works marvelously.  I have one of the larger Deluxe models under my nightstand right next to my bed that is plugged in 24/7 and has a battery backup.  I can gain access in under 2 seconds and is completely childproof.  I plan on ordering another for downstairs as an emergency safe should I not be carrying inside my house.  I would highly recommend this safe...beautifully made and simple to use.
