    They've got everything from key locked safes to biometric safes. Just depends on what you want to spend. You can get a biometric safe for around $150. I just picked up an electronic safe with a keypad for a little over $40 on Amazon to keep the Glock in beside the bed.

      Most basic safes/cases only have a combo or key or both.

      As far as biometric stuff, as far as I know its only fingerprint scans. There are trigger locks that need one fingerprint scan, smaller portable carry cases/safes that need up to four of your fingers and full size safes as well. I haven't seen any that require palm print, retina scan, voice recognition, etc. That tech exists though so if you've got the money I'm sure somebody would build it.

        Precisely. I just didn't know if there was something specific for guns, mags, and accessories*.

          They come in all kinds of sizes and have actual gun safes built specifically for guns & accessories. From the tiny hold one pistol kind that can easily fit under your bed to safes that can hold multiple hand guns to the big 30 AR 15 holding kinds. Just have to shop around and find one that fits your needs.

          If you have a Tractor Supply Store in your area, they sale them and some hunting themed stores sale them in store as well as online.

That, and I'm all out of .22, and my Buckmark is usually the first gun I grab out of my bag at the range to just plink with for like an hour.

            I had to grab a box of 9mm FMJ at the gun shop where I picked up the Glock, and 50 rounds ran me $20.
            Try www.gunbot.net

            It updates every 40 seconds and displays fair prices in red. You have to check it constantly but good deals are still out there. Since the run on ammo I have yet payed more than 28 cents a round for 9mm or 40 cents a round for .223.

              Took the new pellet rifle out for a hunt yesterday. The Silent Stalker .22 cal. I tell you what, I made some long shots for a pellet rifle. I had several 25 to 30 yard shots and one that had to be close to 45 yards. When that .22 cal lands, it lands hard. Dropping them instantly.

                    I have not cooked them yet. I plan to brine them overnight with some seasoning, little white wine, and some cut apples. Then take em, brown them in the cast iron pot for few min. Pull them out, throw in some onions, bell peppers, green onions, and little garlic. Cook that down for few min, then add some water, then put the squirrel back in and smoother that on low heat covered for a good 4 hours. Make a good dark grave with it and that slow cook of the meat will fall right off. Make some rice, drizzle that grave over the rice with them squirrels on top, and side of cream style corn...........who's momma i'm gonna slap

                        I have never done it with squirrel but I like to do that with rabbit. Wrap them in bacon. That might be a good idea to do, wrap and tooth pick pin them while they smoother. Absorb all that bacon fat.

                          When you brown them in the cast iron, add some bacon or bacon fat before you do. That will add a nice smokey flavor without overpowering it with a bacon taste.

                          I havent had squirrel in years so I dont remember how gamey it is, but if it is gamey, the bacon can help mask that.

                            It is a little gamey, that's why I like to brine it over night to try and kill some of it. I think u are right the bacon will add a good smoked flavor as well a good extra something
