sojourner What you are saying does not make logical sense to me. Please elaborate.
An intruder is already in your home in the process of trying to get your gun off the wall & you're going run over and unlock it.
There is a solid brass rod that is inserted into the muzzle of the firearm so nobody can insert anything into the muzzle.
If there is ALREADY an intruder in your home then your firearm needs to be inaccessible to that intruder.
So what are you going to do???...an intruder is in your home trying to pry & beat your firearm off the wall & you're going to run over to him & tell him to leave your gun alone because you paid a lot of money for it?:blink:
The idea of this device is in giving you the ability to store a truly childproof firearm...that is accessible to you for your in home defense but, next to impossible to be used against you.
It IS a fact that for many people (especially those folks renting an apartment) ~ buying a Gun Safe is just not a realistic or practical option.
If the robber/burglar needs to destroy the firearm (or render it unusable) in trying to gain unlawful access to it...then that means that YOU are not going to get shot with it when you walk in your front door.
ALSO: if the firearm is damaged beyond repair in an attempt to steal it then that is one less firearm that is not going to make it out into the street as an illegal stolen firearm.
I didn't see about the brass rod, I missed that one. Even with that, my opinion does not change.
I see something happening as such. I put my gun in the piecekeeper as a childproof way to secure my weapon and still access it for home defense. Mag full, one in the chamber (or none in the chamber, doesn't matter). I wear the key in a necklace around my neck when going to bed.
Well day X I lock it.
Day X + 10 a visitor plays a trick and "hides" the magazine or removes the magazine and empties the bullets or puts bullets in backward or puts snap caps in.
OR
Day X + 10 an anti-inlaw sees this when visiting my wife. The inlaw decides it is too dangerous to even see a gun and removes the magazine and takes it w/ him/her.
OR Day X + 10 a child removes the magazine to play w/ it and knocks out the base plate. Says nothing cause is scared of getting in trouble.
Night X + 10 + 2 Something goes bump in the night. I unlock what I assume to be a functioning firearm and I do not have a functioning firearm or a firearm w/out ammo or without a properly functioning magazine.
Encasing the whole firearm protects it from being destroyed/tampered in the interim from the time it is secured to the time it is needed. If it is not totally encased, as w/ the piecekeeper, it is not protected from tampering.
Also, someone could get
gunvault for use in an apartment and would not have to drill into a stud in somebody elses place that they are renting from.
I guess I was not clear on my original post. I hope I cleared up my thoughts on this matter.
