Yes, but only the bedroom safe. The large safe with the long guns and other handguns plus a decent amount of cash is mystery to her.

Nope.

No room for jewelry, etc.

When/if she ever wants to learn to shoot and can safely handle firearms she's welcome. But as a responsible firearms owner it would be irresponsible to allow access to the goods in there to anyone untrained or unfamiliar - girlfriend, kids, wife, whomever...

Other household items can be secured in a different safe altogether.

YESSS   how would you feel if someone broke into your home and she couldnt but could of deffend herself.???

i think its the worst thing to do,is to have guns and not let her have access

My belief is, if you have guns in the house, every adult should know how to access, load, and shoot them. Kids are a different story. Their levels of maturity are all different.

She has her own fid and some of her own guns in the safes. Unfettered access. The bio drawer safe as well.

 

Minimally someone else should know the combo. My lawyer also has it in a sealed envelope in the case of our concurrent demise.

Yes--access to all safes, but she usually forgets and has to ask me for the code.

She just got FID and I have a 9 ordered for her, she also "has" a Beretta 92, which is technically mine.  And I have no worries about her capability and safe handling.

my wife has access but looses her mind with the combo.She is not as cheap as me so the 3 most expensive guns she paid for

Wife has FID, combination, and just about half the guns in the safe.

Yes.  We dont have a safe, and we have them strategically placed around the house..  (no kids in our house, like, ever)..  she keeps one in the nightstand on her side and one upstairs in the spare BR when she gets tired of my snoring and goes upstairs....  she will always have access to all of them..  whether or not she knows how to shoot them is another story (once i build up the collection a bit)

Mine has never even been to the range.  But lately she has expressed interest so not all hope is gone.

 

She has no access because she is lacking safety training.

My wife learned how to shoot before I did, she is a better shot than I am, and she has her own FPID, so of course she knows the safe combination.

I married the Boss Lady over 30 years ago.  I taught her how to shoot a Smith and Wesson .357 Model 19 when we were dating.  She's a Crack Shot with the revolver AND our .44 Mag lever gun.  That SAME revolver I bought with funds from my 1977 HS graduation gift money.  It sits in a place where we can BOTH get to it, and I have several others around the house.  My son use to sleep with a .22 boys rifle under his bed (unloaded).  Taught him how to shoot 20 years ago when he was only 4 yrs. old.  Put the rifle under the bed when he was still in grade school.  Showed him where the ammo was if he ever needed it.  Somehow we all survived.....and my Eagle Scout son made NRA Rifle Expert years ago.  He lives in PA now and his Girlfriend (who we taught how to knock clays out of the sky with his 20 ga. youth model) bought him a gun rack for the apartment last Christmas!

 

Everybody that enters our home usually sees a muzzleloader turned muzzle-down in our kitchen, draining oil onto a paper towel.  I dry-fire practice in my living room.  

 

So we're just a Red-Neck, Rootin'-Tootin' SOB-shootin' gun-edumacated family, and DAMN proud of it.

 

So Chris, does that answer it enough for ya?  LOL!

In theory, yes she has access.  But she'll never try to open it.  Not anti-gun but has absolutely no interest in them.  Supportive of my interest regardless.  Been married too long for secrets.

Yes, technically. But she keeps forgetting the combination.

sounds like my wife

When I was married she was ambivalent about guns.  She knew how to use them in an emergency, but that's about it.  Then she realized that she could keep her jewelry in the safe and I lost half my space.

I've got most of the safe but lost almost all of the closet.  My wife has a thing for Croc shoes.  I think she might be a lesbian.

 

Anyway, to the OP, mine has access to the safe.

Yes, hers are in there also and she is trained on a majority of mine. Those that she's not trained on she know's not to mess with.

Yes.  She's a good shot with my Ruger, but won't touch my Mossberg or Smith and Wesson since she's never used them.

my neighbor's wife does

does that count?

 

come on, that was funny

Yes,  

Because she has as many guns in there as i do.    

She has access to the big safe, and the small bedroom safes as well.

Yes, to my .22 Rifle but she doesn't know where the keys to lock or the ammo is..

 

No to my P.38 or my Sig, she doesn't know about them.. not until she gets training. 

 

-P

Nope neither of my two safes or ammo locker

No, because then she might figure how to get out! j/k

 

Of course, her's are in there too. Why not? I trust her...

 

The minute I don't, she goes back in the safe with bread and water till she can be trusted again...

 

You guys have marriage issues...

Yup...because her weapons are right next to mine!

She doesn't shoot but yes she has the combination and keys to all the safes in our home; and yes she knows what I have and what I spent on them.

 

For you guys using biometric safes, have you tried to open them with bloody fingers? Try it - chocolate syrup makes a decent substitiute for blood. You may be surprised at what the results are.

I don't understand why people opt for biometric safes.  Anything I cannot open with a key or push buttons with no reliance on batteries is bogus.  Your keys need to go somewhere at night; keep your safe key on your key ring and stick it in the lock at night.

Not my gun safe, but my main safe. It's mainly biometric.... It also can use a keypad. It also has high security backup keys. So good on all grounds. It's a Brinks.... Had it several years and it has not failed yet. My gun safe is both electronic or keyed...

One secret with biometric, (addressing the bloody finger issue), if the safe has a good biometric system, (I would not get it if it weren't well made), you can program all your fingers if need be. Or some from one hand and the other.... Mine gives me quite a few bio prints. Enough if blood, boogers, chocolate or severed digits enters the scenario... Make sure you lick your fingers clean otherwise.

Same argument can be had with keys or combos... Say I'm injured badly and laying on the floor and only hope is reaching for a bio print.... Can't see combo, (got blood in my eyes), and car keys are in the other room, can't crawl because have two broken legs maybe), I better have a life tag on my neck because it is the I've fallen and can't get up scenario... Only hope is, I can reach up, activate pad and have 10 fingers to reach with. Howz that for a scenario?

Once the touchpad/print reader is bloody, you can clean your fingers all you want, the pad likely won't read. Plus, while you dick around with your ten fingers my safe with its key, simplex, combination or even digital keypad is already unlocked and I have a gun in my hand ready to give someone the bees -  whether my hands are wounded, bloody, and full of tears and snot or not.

Sorry Bro, but I am calling shenanigans on this. Why is my only hope a bio-print safe? In the situation you mention above would work just fine substituting a keyed entry (with the key someplace ither than the car key ring), simplex lock, or even digital keypad for the bio reader and probably work better and faster with bloody fingers - If there is blood in your eyes, there is blood on your hands. There is no way you suppress that instict to wipe blood from your eyes so you can see.

 

My one pistol safe is a key entry, with the lock being on top of the safe. The safe is bolted to the top shelf of a bookcase, that is well over my head. I have no problems whatsoever using that safe which is over my head and requires a key to go in a lock that I can not see.

 

My other pistol safe is a simplex lock and the last is a digital keypad with key backup. All of these can be opened in the dark by touch alone and with either hand, bloody, hurt, or not.

 

Yes, you can what if a scenario to death. Lets not do that - I am sure we can all come up with no win scenarios. The long and the short of it is in a fight there is a good chance you will get bloody and that blood will get on your hands.
