The handguns are all in locked handgun safes (the home defense weapon has its own) near the bed. AR stored in a locked case.

My sons are both teenagers who have both been trained to shoot, but I keep the guns inaccessible to them as law and logic would dictate.

My main considerations for potentially purchasing a safe are theft mitigation as well as the ability to keep the AR more readily available for defensive purposes. As it is now, I'd have to unlock the case, load mags, etc. Basically, the AR is not a defensive option in my current setup.

For those who have purchased safes, why did you purchase when you did?

For those who've consciously decided not to purchase one, how did you arrive at that decision?

Thanks!
