A biometric gun safe technically refers to any safe which can be opened through the use of a fingerprint scanner. Thus they are often also referred to as fingerprint reading safes, as well as a slew of other variations. Though they're often a popular lock option on large, full size gun safes like the Browning Platinum equipped with the S&G combination finger reader/keypad, they're most popularly associated with personal bedside style handgun safes like the GunVault Multi Vault.
Though traditional heavy frame gun safes certainly serve their purpose, they aren't terribly practical in a pinch. Say for instance, your spouse shakes you in the middle of the night to bring to your attention the voices down stairs. Scary stuff right? Well, having a split second access to a firearm within arm's reach certainly helps take a little bit of the edge off. Most large 1000 lbs steel safes like the aforementioned Browning model are typically kept in the basement, or at the very least outside of the bedroom. Not to mention they take significantly longer to open and find the gun you're looking for. So what good will that do you in a situation where every second matters. Biometric gun safes make it easy for you to safely secure your firearm from your children, and have it ready in your hand when the time comes to defend them.
When you initially configure your fingerprint safe, you'll scan the finger that you'd like to use into the system for recognition. From this point forward, every time someone runs their finger over the scanner, the system employs a complex algorithm to match the print in question against your original pattern. If it's a match, the door swings open, and you're in. If it doesn't recognize the pattern, it stays locked and secure. Depending on the lockout threshold of the safe, there may be anywhere from three to five failed attempts before the safe rejects any further attempts for a predetermined period of time (usually around 15-30 minutes).
One wonderful feature of many biometric safes, particularly higher end models is that they allow for the storage of multiple fingerprints. This allows the potential for you as well as any other responsible adult in your household to access the contents should you choose to make it available. Even if you don't have anyone you're willing to share access with, you can scan in your individual fingers for redundancy. You never know when one arm, hand, or finger isn't free.
Biometric technology has come a long way even in the past couple years, allowing for more accurate and reliable systems, as well as a cheaper price for us, the consumers. There's no replacement for a good alarm system, tight locks on the doors and windows, and good common sense, but when all else fails, you may be the forced into the last line of defense; utilize a biometric gun safe to ensure that you have the tools you need the second you need them.
It would be a life saving idea for those of us intending to survive until an old age to begin trade on the local arm of your black markets so that you begin building a reserve of trust and cred. You will learn more about capitilism and the efficiency of markets this way then in any text book.
