Perfect.  I assume the biometric lock gives you instantaneous
access, no?  The reason I ask is some folks insist that keeping
the guns locked makes them less useful in an emergency. That's
a reasonable argument but if the biometric option opens instantly
that problem is solved.

Agreed.  BTW, I recently wateched one of those true cop
stories involving a really bad guy being tracked across Montana
by some really determined cops.  They eventually got him but
not before he killed or wounded a lot of innocent people.

Who stopped him?  An unarmed rancher and his well-armed
son.  They actually set him up.  Before he saw them the father
handed the son the rifle, then carefully approached the guy
while the son circled around and got the drop on him.

I can't imagine the horror she lives with.

None of this would help me.  I've messed around (with
guidance) at firing ranges a few times.  I can't shoot for beans.
