Gun Safes - 4 Revealing Statistics Why Firearms Owners Need A Gun Safe

 

Author: Peter Lim

If your house is on fire would your gun or firearms be safe?

If a burglar were to break into your house, would he find your gun easily and steal it?

Is your gun easily accessible so that it can be reached by others who are unauthorized to handle the gun, allowing misuse?

These are the three main important questions that every gun owner must answer, and if the answer to any one of these questions or to all of these questions is in the affirmative, then what he needs immediately is a gun safe.

Consider these 4 revealing statistics:

1. In the United States of America, the FBI has estimated that there are more than 341,000 incidents of firearm theft from private citizens every year on average.

By nature, we tend to believe that firearm theft will not occur to "us" ...and that theft only occurs to others. It is time to get wiser, that theft does not wait for any man. For many who possess guns or firearms that are actually hierlooms, the loss of the firearms would mean much more than normal loss. It means loss of something sentimental, and it would be worse if that hierloom was used in the commission of a crime resulting in loss of life.

2.Guns and firearms are stolen with a purpose - stolen guns often end up in the hands of unwanted individuals and criminals who may use them to commit further misdeeds, burglary, theft, robbery and even cause bodily harm to others. Worse, children and kids may mistaken a real gun for a toy and mishandle it if the gun is not stored away properly, resulting in accidents.

We have read and seen actual cases where kids have easy access to the parents firearms, resulting in terrible unnecessary loss of lives and untold misery that lasts for life.

3. It is estimated that over 30% of the firearms used in the commission of a crime are stolen from American homes and businesses. Now, that is a really worrisome figure. Theft of guns is becoming a source of further crime and gun-owners must take on a role to prevent increasing firearms theft.

4. A burglar has a time window of around 6 minutes to look quickly for prized possessions and assets to steal when he breaks into a home, this being the time burglars would be "comfortable" in the commission of his crime.

Frustrate the burglar's "time comfort zone", by storing away your gun properly.

Considering your responsibility as a firearms owner,it is no longer wise to store your gun in a drawer, or under a desk or behind a picture frame - places where burglars and unauthorized persons will zoom in for.

Every responsible gun owner needs a gun vault or a gun safe - fireproofed, locked and inaccessible to unwanted persons...and safe from theft, fire and misuse.
