if you have kids, get one of these:

they work very well

I might get it even without a handgun.

Another question for ya...what do you recommend for gun safes?   

Do you mean a large, stand up type gun safe or a smaller one for one or two handguns? Probably should have asked you that in the first place.

mine works very well.  i have it bolted to the wall next to the bed.  fingerprint recognition takes about 3-5 seconds.

its hard cuz I DO have 5 long guns...but they are put away except for hunting.  It would be nice to have a big safe for them too...but the cost and size is pretty high.  Might just do the biometric route for the hand guns

Says in description less then a second to recognize, you have a different one or false advertising on their part?

under ideal conditions sure.  mine is upside down and i have to reach for it.  if you pit it flat on the kitchen table maybe.

I like the idea of this better:

But it doesn't seem like you see them or can buy them anywhere?

Does it beep at all while opening?

   Wow, I keep My sidearm with Me all day, at night I stuff it between the mattress and boxspring under My head. We don't have kids around, so no worries there, just wondering how You handle waking up to an intruder standing over You with a knife, ect. and get Your firearm to action with a 3-4 second wait to unlock the "safe"...After They have killed the Dogs, ect....

They usually don't make it past the moat.

If they do, the alarm system gives me at least 10-15 seconds before they get to my bedroom.

Here's my question; where do you live?  I'd strongly consider moving if I was that concerned...

no just a click

the risk of ninja attack is low.  perhaps you need to move.

A bedside holster would be faster and more secure.  I bet it takes you longer than 3 seconds to go from dead asleep to finding that pistol under the mattress.  I like nightstand drawers.

    Theres a 100+ ways to skin the Cat, just a matter of what You are comfortable with. And it doesn't really matter where You live, the threat is everywhere. I might be a bit paranoid, but it has kept Me alive in some very bad environments. Interesting to hear Everyones ideas tho'... Perhaps some day We won't have to worry about this stuff at all..
