Duh! Believe I'll pass on this one. If I pull a gun even in the middle of the night I plan on shooting ,not wasting time as the intruder will have a gun.
Don't come here expecting a safety bullet being in my gun.

Did ya'll watch the video at the bottom of the page? Muzzle control?

Why would it matter if the BG had a gun?

Anyway this is more about CHILD safety than anything else.

I kind of like the idea as the Handgun my wife plans on using if something happen while I was away is kept in condition 3 which means she already knows that she has to put the gun in Condition 1 before firing. Having this bullet already in the chamber could be a plus.

Might have to think on this one some more.

no "safer" than just leaving your gun with an empty chamber

That's what I was thinking too.

But if the child could cock the gun, and he racks the Safe bullet and pulls the trigger then it works.

what works even better is teaching your kids firearms safety instead of relying on some gimmick!

Yea that works for Tweens and above.

3,4,5 yr olds though is a different story.

Accidents happen, we've seen the news. Just the other day i was talking with someone who thought he had taught his 9 yr old EVERYTHING he needed to know over the last few years. Yet still the kids friend talked him into getting in his Dad's Gun safe b/c he knew where the key was. Those guns were unloaded, but hey, **** happens.

No reason to act all Mancho and play the "I don't need safety game". Not with kids anyway.

I think that this would cost more time than it is worth, might as well put your guns in a safe.

+1 to Education being the key to firearm safety.

That is the single worse "safety" item I have ever seen in my life. Don't leave a loaded gun around an unsupervised young child or at least a well trained/educated one! I had loaded guns in reach since I was 10 or so but wouldn't think of touching them without Dad around!

God forbid you needed the gun and forgot that was in there. You just locked up your means of defense. That is not good. It would be safer and better left unloaded with at least the ammo locked up in my mind. YMMV

PS: Yes, at 10 I could reach them. I was 6'1" @ 210lbs at 13 and wasn't fat.

you were a ****ing tank! how big are you now?

 

[herohog]

6'1" @ 300lbs, I am 75lbs FAT. Slowly loosing it but it is hard when ya can't exercise and most of your life is spent in a recliner. My knees and back are trashed from doing a LOT of stupid crap when I was younger like lifting a 350 Chevy Long block w/intake and exhaust manifolds attached and loading it into a truck by myself or picking up the front of VW Bugs for giggles and rolling one on it's roof my myself "because I could."

This was me at 11 or 12:

I was no more than 12 when this was taken. I was telling my dad about the tube ride down some rapids in Colorado we did on vacation.

I got sent home from Jr High (8th grade?) for having sideburns and a mustache. My mom sent me back and told them I was too young to shave. LOL

there were guns around in my house from the time i was wee lil one, i was taught to shoot at 5, and i knew damn sure that if i even touched a gun without my dad there i would not sit down for a week.
maybe its all in the instruction.
