concealed carry question

[ismram]

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...

I also have one bolted to a shelf in my closet. I got it at Gander Mtn. If the battery goes dead there are two prongs on the side. All you have to do is hold a 9volt too the prongs and enter your code and it opens. I keep a fresh 9 volt beside the safe just in case.

Yea, my GunVault opens with a key as well...great little box.  Large enough for at least two large frame guns and magazines plus small items you want to lock up.  Too bad they're not fire proof though.  If someone wanted to get into it badly enough, it wouldn't take much but it definately would slow them down and make a lot of noise.

I also like Gunvault's keypad cutoff after several failed attempts and its motion detector which sets off an ear piercing alarm should someone try and move the safe without the proper code.

I don't have the alarm on mine, the dog and my wife will scream bloody murder for me!

I think MB had some trouble with the larger safes from these guys, not sure.  For under 150 bucks it serves the purpose of safety without slowing me down much.

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?

Get her a small fanny pack and a proper size Smart Carry. IMHO if you have a defensive sidearm, the safest and most readily accessible  place for it is on your person. Leave the hammer on an empty chamber if you want to be 100% positive no one is covered unintentionally.  My 3 kids grew up with me carrying my pistol on me at home. Absolutely no chance of them getting it, and it was accessible to me in any room.

gunproof the kids ASAP, but I understand some kids are NOT ready at that age.

I have a gunvault mounted in the nightstand, with a good light and earpro sitting next to it.  Quick and easy (even in the dark), and batteries will last a year of daily use. 

Smartcarry is good--if she prints, people will just thing she is a crossdresser

Is that a smart carry in your pants, or are you just happy to see me? 

[Teresa Heilevang]

hahaha  good commercial...
Depends though on who you are of which I would want.. 

I am still looking for a fanny pack to use when I can't carry directly on me.
 Marshal is talking to some folks at Gunsite this week about women ( me) and the problem
with directly carrying w-o it showing.

I shoot totally right handed but I have to have my holster ( I have a soft leather) inside the front of my jeans on my left side...but in the front.
Weird I know.. But I can reach in ..cross draw and fire before I can get my right hand to go to my right hip for my gun.

but I just really am searching for just the right carry holster. been scouring the internet and also looked at Shot Show for holsters and fanny packs. I know exactly what I want.. I just can't find it.
 Might have to design one of my own.. A Marshal'ette Holster"..

Drink up Marshal'ette, the more you drink, the better I look.

Well i guess that would be one way to keep other guys from hitting on her.
