If you have a firearm in your home, you understand the balance between having quick access while keeping your family safe. If your weapon isn’t locked up, children may find your gun and harm themselves or others, but if it’s locked up you may not have the easy access that you need in an emergency situation. Enter the Gun Box, a new way to store your firearm.

The Gun Box has a unique method of entry using and RFID scanner, your fingerprint, or both. With a price tag starting at $279, it’s a sleek product that looks good on your nightstand and will even charge up your smartphone. Here are a few features on the base model, as listed on the Gun Box Web site:

  • Aircraft strength aluminum alloy shell
  • Sleek wristband for quick access
  • 2 USB ports for charging devices or connecting accessories
  • Battery backup with shut off switch
  • Mounting holes to allow for mounting in any orientation
  • Kensington lock port (lock and cable not included)

The box will even notify you when it has been moved or opened, and GPS tells you where it is.

Though the Gun Box is a little pricey compared to other products on the market, this one is stylish, unique, and gives that quick access gun owners need while still keeping the family safe.

Do you think the Gun Box is a good idea? Has it taken too long for a product like this to hit the market?
