"the gun box" - New safe storage concept

Recommended Posts

This seems to me almost like smart gun technology. Are you willing to bet your life on this at 2am in the morning? Don't get me wrong, seems cool as hell but I think I would rely more on a biometric safe with my finger prints scanned 120 times then this.  I can lose the RFID chip but if I lose my fingers I'm going to assume I have bigger problems that a gun won't solve.

On a side note and just my opinion...... Say we flock to the store to buy these RFID safes. The sales are astronomical and all the gun boards on the internet talk about how great these are and how we would bet our lives on these securing our weapons and being able to access them quickly. Well, next thing you know our country's wonderful lawmakers are trolling the boards saying if you secure your guns this way why not just build it into the gun also. Now we just opened the doors and sealed our fate by supporting and buying these safes.

You are already late to the party. They have built them into guns already.

I know they already have created smart guns. What I'm saying is there has been strong opposition from the gun community saying "no way" to these "smart gun". Buying these safes would be hypocritical on our part. If we buy these safes, we will be saying we support the technology and trust it in securing our arms indirectly. I believe that would be the push our government would need to create laws in actually requiring RFID technology built into our weapons directly. I hope I was more clear this time. Accepting this technology in safes does not help us.

I understand what you meant. Read the whole last link/article. Besides, they already are pushing for it. It's been on the NJ books for awhile and as soon as it's proven ready, they will move forward with it. Just don't think creating sales for these gun boxes, (which I think are useless), will persuade them any more because they are already hell bent on it. That last article shows they are even closer to being ready.

I don't want anything that is going to rely on electricity for me to access my guns.  It has a battery backup but when the battery runs out ???????  As for biometrics, bloody hands? dirty hands? cuts?  I'll stick with a good old fashioned key lock...besides, RFID & GPS allows for tracking by numerous entities that I may not want to know the whereabouts of my guns.

Even better, good old-fashioned simplex push button lock...

Oh yeah, nothing like good old aluminum to keep people out. I mean a teenager with a $7 hacksaw might have to work at that for 10-15 minutes... well beyond their attention span. 

 

You don't need a hacksaw, just a special screwdriver:

 

Failsafe in case of Electronic Failure

A "Fail Safe" has been implemented into the GunBox. A small unique safety screw can be removed using a special tool which will manually open the Gunbox in the event the electronics fail.

SO I need the $4 security bit kit form harbor freight? This thing gets better and better every time I encounter it.

I guess it's cool, and I admire it from the 'because we can' perspective, but I just don't see the point.

 

 

If you're awake, you should be carrying it on your person.*

 

If you're asleep, it should be under your pillow.

 

If you leave the house, then you either carry it because you're in a free state or you put it in the safe because - you're out of the house, so it doesn't matter if it's "inaccessible"

 

 

*If you are morally opposed to home carry as some people are, then concealment furniture is far better. Skip the fragile tech, AND unauthorized persons have no idea it's there.

I have the HF security bit set.  it still didn't have a screw bit I need to fix a rotating Christmas tree stand.  Who's to say it has the "special" bit for this box.

 

Not saying it's the greatest thing in the world, but I've seen far worse.

    • Ian Smith, co-owner of Atilis Gym in Bellmawr, New Jersey, has achieved a monumental victory. A New Jersey court has dismissed all 80 charges against him, charges that stemmed from his bold decision to reopen his gym in direct defiance of Democrat Governor Phil Murphy’s tyrannical COVID-19 lockdown orders. The saga began in May 2020, when Smith reopened Atilis Gym, challenging the Murphy administration’s mandates, which he and his supporters argue are unconstitutional and detrimental to small businesses. The confrontation escalated in July 2020 when police officers forcefully arrested Smith after he continually violated the state’s shutdown orders.   A swarm of police officers burst through the door of Atilis Gym in Bellmawr, New Jersey arrested the owners for violating Governor Murphy’s authoritarian shutdown order. “Well, this was a first,” Dowlen said in a Facebook post. “I stayed the night in the gym writing, my book clients Ian & Frank were just waking up, I’m gathering my computer & notebooks, just waiting for the guys to come out for a few final questions, and then a SWARM of Camden County Sheriffs & local Bellmawr police (with K-9 units waiting in a vehicle) come bursting thru the door….to me, sitting there, writing, by myself. First & foremost, the law enforcement officers were polite & respectful. Look for my video footage on national channels. And tonight/this morning, I am writing this new book chapter right now!!!” WATCH:   The state’s aggressive response did not end with the arrest. In a controversial move, Governor Murphy and his administration seized $165,000 from the gym’s accounts—funds that Smith claims were amassed through donations and apparel sales to support the gym’s legal battles. This act was a punitive strike meant to cripple the gym financially and serve as a stern warning to others who might consider similar defiance. “Governor Phil Murphy seized 100% of our assets today – $165k, all of which came from donations and apparel sales. This is done in the middle of ongoing litigation defending ourselves against these fines, our 80 charges, the revocation of our business license, and the unconstitutional health department shutdown. This was never about protection, it was always about control,” said Smith in a video statement in January 2021. On Saturday, Smith announced that the court dropped all charges with prejudice. This means the state is utterly barred from refiling these charges against Smith and Atilis Gym, signaling a definitive victory for the small business owner and a stinging rebuke of Gov. Murphy’s authoritarian tactics. Smith did not mince words, directly challenging Governor Murphy with a phrase that has since gone viral: “Suck my d—k Phil Murphy.” Smith released the following statement on X:     https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/05/new-jersey-court-throws-80-charges-against-brave/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=new-jersey-court-throws-80-charges-against-brave
    • Saw a new gun shop open up in East Hanover  called Point Blank. Haven’t had the chance to drop in, and they don’t seem to respond to emails. Anyone have any experience with them?   transfer costs? Do they have a blacksmith that does compliance work?
