Biometric vs. Code Entry

BIOMETRIC

Nowadays, quick easy access to my firearm will not be an issue again as I have a gun safe in my bed. I use the Biometric fingerprint gun safe as it is very fast, efficient and requires no thinking or recall of a security code. Not to say a Code entry safe will not do the job, I just believe the Biometric is better for me. I would recommend either option to any one as they are both high quality options. But if you are woken from a deep sleep to a startling in your house, it would be an awful thing to somehow forget the code or fumble through it and accidentally type the wrong code(s) in when every second counts.

CODE ENTRY

I think a code entry safe is great option for singles, married without children, empty nesters and the like. Reason being, if you set your code to something easy like: 1-1-1-1 or 1-2-1-2, you will have just as quick access to your weapon as a Biometric safe. I just would not recommend an easy code like this if you have kids in the house because it would be too easy for a child to guess. A code entry safe would also be a great option for any bed in a family vacation home, where different families or friends may come and go, but this way there is a safe place to keep a firearm. And you only need to share the security code with the adults.
