[Frank Ettin]

We have several lock-boxes around the house. They can be opened using a key-touch combination code. They are mechanical so don't rely on power or batteries. They can be quickly opened without looking. They are not easily visible but are easily accessible if one knows that they are there. They are bolted down and thus not readily moveable. Each contains a loaded gun, extra ammunition and a Surefire flashlight. They weren't terribly expensive.

In this way, we have a loaded gun easily and quickly accessible to either my wife or me wherever we might be in the house. But the gun is not readily accessible to anyone else.
