PRIMARY
PROS

PRIMARY
CONS
|
|
(VERY
GOOD)
CABLE LOCK
(Non CA approved locks may have additional cons)
|
 |
Offers
good visual deterrence.
Offers
good physical deterrence
Cannot
be installed on a loaded firearm when used properly.
Low
cost. Aprox $7 - $13 retail
|
It
is obvious to most unauthorized users that cutting the
cable is a logical method to remove the lock. The
cable can be cut with some tools that can vary from
tool to tool and person to person.
Cannot
be used on many firearms including but not limited to
Over-Under and Side-by-side longarms (Except
our GL770 & GL777 longarm cable locks)
|
|
(VERY
GOOD)
TRIGGER
LOCK
(Non
CA approved locks may have additional cons)
|
 |
Offers
excellent visual deterrence.
Offers
excellent physical deterrence.
Low
cost. Aprox $12 - $14
Can
be used on most firearms including Over-Under and
Side-by-Side longarms.
|
Cannot
be used on all firearms.
Can
be installed accidentally on a loaded firearm if our
accidental discharge cable is not used.
|
|
(VERY
GOOD)
LEVER ACTION BRACKET
|
 |
Used
with our GL650 trigger lock.
Deters
attempts to pull the hammer back.
Deters
attempts to pull the lever down.
|
Can
only be used on lever action firearms.
Can be installed accidentally on a
loaded firearm.
Cannot
be used on all lever action firearms.
|
|
(BETTER)
CABLE
LOCK
&
TRIGGER LOCK
(used on the same firearm)
|
|
Using
both our CA. approved trigger lock with our CA. approved
cable locks will provide all the PROS for both locks.
Additional
visual deterrence.
Two
separate keys would be required.
Short
of a Gun box or a Gun safe, this combination of locks
will offer you additional deterrence that is
preferred. If
one lock were to fail or be disabled, the other lock
is still intact. Additional
time would be needed to disable both locks.
|
Cost
would be $19-$27 typically. This
cost is still very reasonable for the added deterrence
provided but is still more expensive than one lock or
the other. |
|
(BEST)
GUN SAFE BOX
|
The
firearm is completely enclosed.
Other
personal items may be secured in the same box.
Pro-Lok
brand safe boxes include a separate steel lock box to
store ammunition. Ammunition
should always be stored in a separate locked
container.
|
Only
good for hand guns because of the small size. |
(THE
VERY BEST)
GUN SAFE
(Full size) |
The
most secure storage method of
storage. Burglary
protection is provided on a good quality safe that is
U.L. rated.
Fire
protection is optional.
|
A
good safe can be expensive from a cost standpoint.
However, the protection and safety they provide
you may be considered cheap. |
