I'm sure those things are great for folks that have young children or grandparents with young children. But it's just the wife and I, my kids are grown adults and live on their own. We each keep loaded pistols in our nightstands, within arms reach. It would take more time for us to fumble for our eyeglasses than to reach for our pistols. Our two German Shepard's will give us the extra time needed to respond to a "bump" in the night. We have no need or desire to have one of those fancy gadgets.

While it’s a nice safe, I still use my Hornaday night guard safe, I dont want/need the extra security with this new one, old one is fine for me, I charge my phone with it and have the rapid badge on back for quick accessHello all, here is today's article posted on TheArmoryLife.com.

Hi,
A very clever idea. This may be the best solution in many situations. It seems like it's quicker access than fingerprint readers or entering a code. Speed can matter. Just stay on top of your battery backup. One caveat, the more complex a machine, the more possible failure points.
Since I don't have kids in the house, I use a couple of mechanical Stop Box units (https://stopboxusa.com/). It's just enough to keep the grandkids away but leaves them accessible. It's not a safe, but a retention device. I have one on my nightstand but you can take it all over the house. I'll practice in my basement occasionally with a target at the bottom of the stairs.
Thank you for your indulgence,
BassCliff

Agreed. This seems like a disaster in the making because as soon as an intruder finds your place and makes themselves known this gadget will surely fail or glitch to create a delay. Much like a RDS on a self defense pistol, it seems absolutely useless and just another point of failure between me and my self preservation.

In my abode, there's nobody younger than 65, so what are outside the safe, are ready for whatever of whomever wishes to bring ill will to this family unit.
