quick access gun lock.

[STF]

OK, so I keep an 870 shotgun next to my bed loaded for home defense....

Problem is my young nephew is very interested in guns and has been hanging out at the house a lot lately. For now I'v just resorted to locking it in the safe when he's there.

Wouldn't it be awesome if there was a trigger lock type device that worked off a finger print like on the new iphones?

Any real world suggestions?

Don't know such a thing, but a friend of mine is in Texas for one year (he's still at school), and his guest-father just attaches a padlock to the trigger guard to block the trigger, so that no shot can be fired.
Maybe thats a solution.

so a pad lock between the trigger and the back of the trigger guard?

I already don't keep a round in the chamber so at least you'd have to know to pump it before it's hot.

I like this but I'd rather it be a combo lock.

Put it away when it is not attended, or remove shot from it when you are not in bed.

That's what I'm doing now.

Nephew met Eddie Eagle yet?

I'm not going there. He's not my kid.

This is kinda cool but on the expensive side.
The key and combo trigger guards could be a bit difficult to use in the dark.

Shotguns as well as many other long guns can fire if dropped or fall over. I was on the receiving end of an Ithaca pump that feel over.

I ended up ordering one of these yesterday. Not really what I want but better than nothing.

Exactly

I'll see if I can find it but I saw a case that sounds like it would work. Narrow upright metal long gun cabinet with a simplex lock. It might have been V-line

 

[STF]

That would be cool. Sounds expensive.

 

[Maxx2893]

Yeah I don't believe it was very cheap, but didn't seem ridiculously high either.
