This idea is probably baked somewhere by a security system
company, but I'll post anyways. It's a weapons locker that
calls your cellphone and / or local security whenever some is
fiddling with the lock, be it a combo lock or whatever.
Perhaps an accelerometer would be a nice addition as well
to
judge if it is moving.
I have this in my car...

How about: "You have the right to bear arms, but only carry one bullet"? |
|
| |
Target practice aside, one is all some of us really need. I
never shoot at something unless I know I'm going to kill it.
Only once while hunting have I ever needed a second shot. |
|
| |
Were I inclined to hunt humans, which currently I am not,
the same standard would apply. |
|
| |
So, LoJack for gun safes. |
|
| |
I have four gun lockers in my home. Three
are concealed in strategic locations and secured with
biometric locks (keyed backup). Each of them contain a
single loaded weapon (two .45s and a 12ga.). The fourth is
is a key/combination safe containing several unloaded
firearms (most of which are not weapons), with a
separately-keyed internal cabinet for ammo. The three
home defense lockers are built into the wall, and the safe
is free-standing but weighs more than two men and a boy
can shift. Even though I built all of them myself and know
how difficult it would be to get into one, it would still be
cool to know if somebody was frigging around with it,
especially if there were a child in my house; just because
the guns are locked up doesn't mean there's not a good
opportunity for firearm-safety education. So, [+]. |

[Alterother], you'd make a good neighbor. |

[normzone] - As a LoJack Installer, I know that
LoJack even has their proprietary system with a
proximity RFID system. If your vehicle is moving
while not near the RFID medalion, then LoJack calls
you and makes you aware of your vehicle's goings on -
this would be easy to implement, I would think with
existing tech. [+] |

Thanks, [Letsbuildafort]. My wife has requested that I acquire a gun safe, and I agree with her. Maybe I'll solicit designs from [Alterother]. |
|
| |
Agreed! Looks like he's got a lot on the ball when it
comes to the securing of the arsenal. Big ups, BTW
on the vaulting [Alterother]. |

//[My compound would be the envy of David Koresh, even
though I live out in bumblef**k nowhere, where the odds of
ever being the victim of a home invasion are infinitely less
likely than those of being gored by a horny moose while on
the way to a costume ball.]// —Alterother |
|
| |
I've been known to exaggerate. I don't actually have a
compound, just the one building. Where did I post that,
btw? |
|
| |
[norm], I don't have any neighbors. Not anymore. |
|
| |
I was paraphrasing your annotation in this thread, hence
the []. |
|
| |
gored + moose gets about four and a quarter million hits, although adding horny knocks it down to seven hundred thousand. |

//neighbours// I was just reading where a NY newspaper is getting flack for publishing names+addresses of handgun-permit holders: I wonder if their next-door neighbours' property values went officially up or down slightly. |

[ ] Why just limit the Idea to gun safes ? wall safes, storage sheds, garages ... |
|
| |
I was wondering, since it sounded very much like something
I would have said except that I would never compare
myself to David Koresh. I thought perhaps I'd had too many
tomatoes one night and broken one of my rules. |
