safety1st · November 5, 2008, 12:38 PM

Ok... whay they DON'T tell you about that little 40 buck + S&H wonder is WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT IT? OR HOW IT WORKS, OR WHERE IT MOUNTS? (besides "on the bedside"...)

Does it somehow automatically position the barrel right up the perps poop-schute? if so, how does it differentiate between a perp and a friend?

it tells me nothing of what it does, how it mounts... so, WTH is it for? why is it so cool and special?

It looks like just a crimped piece of metal to rest a shotgun on that bolts onto the bottom of your bed.

Sounds like a miserable idea to me...

When I wake up in the morning I am fumbling all over the place. Last thing I would want is a loaded shotgun where my feet land.

"This product is not intended for use in homes with children."

I suppose it might be useful in a round house with no corners to stand the gun in.

WOW!! Don't know what the problem is with those guys(read post above) but seem like a nice way to keep a shotgun at the ready, and as for how it works/mounts look at the website and watch the old lady slip it between the mattress and box spring, seem simple enough.

Ricky B · November 6, 2008, 11:40 PM

Safety1st, why don't you disclose your affiliation with the vendor?

johnbt · November 7, 2008, 11:15 PM

"Don't know what the problem is with those guys(read post above)"

Problem? I don't see no problem with those guys. They seem like nice honest straightforward folks.

"but seem like a nice way to keep a shotgun at the ready, and as for how it works/mounts look at the website and watch the old lady slip it between the mattress and box spring, seem simple enough."

So does standing one in a corner.

Lord knows I've bought enough gun-junk during the past 50 years, so if it floats your boat have at it.

johnbt · November 7, 2008, 11:26 PM

Okay, I'm back from googling.

I watched the video ad on YouTube. Loved the comments.

Found this blurb, too.

"The BackUp shotgun rack, which strictly warns against use in homes with children, is the only reasonable means of shotgun access in threatening times.

There is little disputing that The BackUp offers what is missing from home shotgun protection--accessibility.

Okay, if they say so. To each their own.

I am John Peters of Home BackUp Protection makers of the backup. I do not think safety1st is mine. If so, I do not know which person it would be.

We are proud of our product.

LouPran · November 18, 2008, 05:49 PM

Something like this just seems overly paranoid to me.

Hell , why not make a big body pillow with a pocket for a shotgun ... this way you can hug your gun all night long and feel safe and secure. :barf:

hogdogs · November 18, 2008, 05:54 PM

Lou, the concept is not new. There are tons of bedframe/mattress pistol holsters. I just store my shotgun leaning on the head board 'tween night table and bed... Suits me fine and I am far from paranoid... Prepared yes... paranoid... NOPE!
Brent

LouPran · November 18, 2008, 06:48 PM

Didn't mean to insult ... what I'm saying is ... isn't a shotgun in the corner or under the bed or between the head board and night table ... good enough???

A product to keep it within reach while laying in bed so you can shot from the relaxation of the sleeping position ???

THAT to me is paranoia .

You hear the dog bark , a creak of a door , glass breaking ... etc etc ... you get up and get your gun

hogdogs · November 18, 2008, 07:03 PM

I think the intention of this device is to hide it well when the bed is made as well as less obvious when you are in bed but I don't know this for sure as it isn't a concern of mine.
Brent

Ricky B · November 18, 2008, 09:10 PM

Safety1st has made all of 2 posts on TFL. One was to start this thread and the other was one in which he said: "I have The Home Back-Up shotgun mount and love it.. " That's it. The only thing he has to contribute is touting your product. And conveniently for someone touting a safety product, he has the moniker of safety1st.

Now who comes onto a forum like this one and makes two posts that are exclusively concerned with promoting an obscure product? And in particular, what normal person would start a thread entitled "Top 10 Gift of the Season" touting this product and citing a press release????

Now you come on and say you don't think safety1st is yours? You don't think? Why don't you find out? Assuming of course that you are telling the truth.

A good product does not need devious marketing.

Scattergun Bob · November 18, 2008, 09:17 PM

I have a tray that sets inside my bed frame and holds baby, I like it better than standing next to the bed. Seems like some folks are a little on edge over the overt marketing of this thread. However, the idea makes sense to me.

Good Luck & Be Safe

foggy · November 18, 2008, 09:29 PM

It would be easy when in bed to just reach down and grab the shotgun. Other than that leaving a shotgun in a corner would be fine. Looks like an ok product to me, simple concept but would do what it is designed for.

Ricky B · November 18, 2008, 11:31 PM

I have no objection to overt marketing. It's the covert marketing that I object to. If the maker of the product came onto this forum and said, "Hey, I've got a great product, check it out," I would have no issue. But for someone to come onto the forum, pose as a regular poster, and tout a product when he's actually some kind of shill does put me on edge.

dv0042 · November 19, 2008, 12:24 AM

"Hell , why not make a big body pillow with a pocket for a shotgun ... this way you can hug your gun all night long and feel safe and secure."

Now that's funny...LMAO
