Why this course
What it's actually about.
Storage is where the competing demands of a firearm are hardest to reconcile: it needs to be inaccessible to a curious child or a burglar, and available to you under stress in the dark.
This course covers the options honestly, including where each one fails.
What it covers
- Safes, lock boxes and quick-access devices compared
- Storage with children in the home
- Balancing security against defensive readiness
- Theft prevention and documentation
- State storage laws and where they apply
