Something to consider. Thank youAnything wrong with the top shelf in your bedroom closet?
Granted at 5 she could, given enough unattended time, figure out how to get up there but if you keep the door closed and a bell on the door then I would think that would give you plenty of notice that she has gone into your bedroom.
If you have the means to buy the locks then I think those are great and have one for my hand guns but I also have a pistol within reach of where I sleep out on the table (no little kids at home though).
Or I also like the leaving the safe one number off - buy a smaller rifle length safe for the bedroom and keep the HD guns in that one. It would probably be cheaper then some of the wall mounted locks and will hold more.
So my wife and I are having our 5 year old granddaughter come stay with us for the summer and I need some secure quick access ideas for my Shockwave and AR Pistol. Not wanting to keep them in safe as it is not easily accessible.
Any thought and experience is appreciated. (Affordable, accessible by adults and SECURE is the desire)
Thank you in advance!
Go to a bicycle store and buy two bike seat cables, and 2 padlocks... run the cables thru the action and secure with the lock. keep the keys on your keychain. Doesn't get much cheaper and easier than this. Not certain if this will fit thru the action on the AR though....

LOL I actually did this pre-safe days ran two eye hooks 3'" into wall studs and then used said pad lock same issue on the AK so I used padlocks at the loops to secure each firearm. It was more a deterrent then theft but was poor and cost maybe 10.00 with locks in the early 80's

Already bought her a bolt 22 and will be signing her up for and teaching some gun safety!I've done this too.
OP, do this then take the savings buy a Henry Mini-bolt and teach that little girl how to shoot along with all safety rules, introduce Eddy Eagle. That will keep her safer than any locking gizmo.

Can you switch up your HD rigs for the summer? Maybe switch to handguns on those biometric "safes" and then trigger lock the AR pistol and the shotgun. If needed, you can use the pistol to get to the bigger stuff.
