looking for a bedside safe

[Bahrutile]

I'm looking for something that isn't a total pos, also don't want to drop 500 bucks

After this article Kids Can Open Gun Safes With Straws and Paper Clips, Researchers Say | Threat Level | Wired.com I'm not sure where to look

For those interested here's a Forbes article on the same topic and a link to the detailed report prepared by the investigators. In a nutshell the investigation said they're basically worthless.

I purchased a [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004FO37AC/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00"]Barska Top Opening Biometric Fingerprint Safe[/ame] from Amazon. Haven't had any issues with it yet.

I looked at Stackons stuff when I started shopping for a safe. Didn't take me long to see they were for the most part, very cheaply made and far from secure.

Make one with a magnetic lock/dummy drawer in the bottom. Wear the key around your neck at night.

If you look at them they aren't too difficult to fabricate.

I have a gun vault biometric safe. I would recommend it to anyone.

I've had this one in our bedroom for a few years and have had no issues at all. It was easy to bolt down and is built fairly solid. You can program what buttons need to be pressed and in what order for the safe to open. And I like that it didn't rely on the somewhat less reliable biometric fingerprint technology.

I think you would be pleased with it.
