Maybe a company could come up with an affordable 'Panic Room'- type product where all the bedrooms in the house are fitted with steel doors with reinforced frames- once an alarm is set off upon intrusion, all the doors bolt lock and everyone is safe. There ya go, no guns needed.
but lets say you had kids, and so you locked both away in your hi-tech safe. do you really think you'd be able to get to them in time in the event of a home invasion (and by the way do you really wanna kill some thieves? I understand that you have to protect you and your fam, but do you want to shoot someone over a flat screen TV and some jewelry?) Seems to me maybe, maybe not. So the only real way to be sure you can protect yourself would be to have it on your person (kids or no). if you did have it on your person then at least the kids can't get it and you can, but do you fellows keep your firearms on you when eating dinner or going to bed? and unless it has a safety or a VERY heavy trigger pull, or you leave the chamber empty, you'd need a proper holster for one as well.
bernbp5 still has a very legit point that nobody in the pro-gun side has yet to respond to. Most people don't have fingerprint safes, or proper holsters. how does average, "responsible," john doe have his firearm accessible enough to use in the event of a break in, but yet secure enough his kids can't find it and shoot themselves?
Probably a good place to say that a woman was shot and killed for shoplifting by a security officer at a Walmart here in Houston. This happened two days ago.
She was shoplifting an AR-15.

nope..it was a Duke jersey and a copy of Obama's book...
A safe on your bedside table that is opened by fingerprint scanning would secure a weapon and would allow it to be accesible in under 3-5 seconds. Most "responsible" gun owners would have something of the sort if there were kids around. If I don't have more than 3-5 seconds to get to my gun i'm toast anyway. Lots of questions that seem to be brought up by anti-gun people who just aren't very informed about firearms/weapons in general or the ways that they can be stored.
I also see a lot of people who talk about how shooting "a thief" is way over the line and that people should just let them steal whatever they want if they break into your house. My response would be how do you know that someone who just forced themselves into your house in the dead of night (or broad daylight) doesn't want to harm you? If someone is going to go to those types of steps to gain entry into my home how do I know he/she doesn't have a weapon on them and isn't coming to do me harm? It's not like pro-gun people are looking for this to occur so that we can sneak downstairs on a thief and shoot him in the back while he's walking out the door with the TV. In the event of a break-in i'd arm myself, alert the intruder that police had been called, that I was armed, and that he should leave the house/appartment/building. A normal burglar would then flee and the threat of having a weapon if needed would have done what it's job. If upon making my presence know to the intruder he came at me, I would only logically believe that he was not there to steal things from me, but that he was in the home to cause my family or myself harm and I would have to act on that.
Also, dmcheatw, you can get a fingerprint gun safe for like 150 bucks. I'd argue that if you intend to spend anywhere from $500-$1000 on a handgun that forking over $150 bucks or so to keep it secure while also being quickly available is the responsible thing to do and those that do are not being responsible with their firearms. As several people have posted about with young children getting ahold of loaded weapons that $150 is something that any responsible firearm owner owes to their self as well as others.
it's fair enough that in the event of a home invasion, if you shot someone dead (provided they weren't in the process of attempting to running away) i personally wouldn't take issue with that under most circumstances. I was just pointing out that most break ins are for the purposes of theft, and most thieves aren't looking to hurt anyone.
And I didn't realize a fingerprint safe was so cheap, i Imagine the price goes up a lot when you wanna store a rifle, and goes up further still if you wanted to store multiple rifles. but for a single home defense sort of weapon i GUESS that works, although i bet most people who own guns and have kids and consider themselves responsible owners don't even have a safe, much less a finger print one.
maybe a law should be passed that to purchase a handgun you must also purchase a fingerprint safe.
3-year-old in Oklahoma fatally shoots himself in accident after finding his state trooper uncle's loaded gun
Ryder Rozier, 3, fatally shot himself accidentally on Saturday after finding a loaded firearm at his uncle’s home. His uncle, Ian Rozier, had several guns in his house near Guthrie, Okla.
The identity of a 3-year-old boy who fatally shot himself accidentally with a gun owned by his uncle was released Tuesday.
Ryder Rozier had been at the home of Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper Ian Rozier, 37, near the town of Guthrie, Okla., around noon on Saturday when he found a loaded gun in his uncle’s bedroom.
The firearm, which was one of Ian Rozier’s private guns, went off after Ryder picked it up. According to the state medical examiner’s office, the boy died at the scene due to an accidental gunshot wound to the head.
The tragedy occurred just one day after 20-year-old Adam Lanza carried out a shooting rampage with his mother’s firearms, leaving 27 people, including 20 children, dead
Keep in mind, this was the gun of a state trooper. If we can't trust policemen to practice gun safety, why are we trusting the average idiot gun nut?
