If you are planning to use a firearm for self-defense you will face the issue of gun storage. Most states make it illegal to have a handgun in reach of a minor child. A standard Gun Case will secure the handgun but will not provide fast access in the event that you need it in an emergency situation. You could purchase a Handgun Safe, but most of them are hard to access in an emergency situation. The best solution is a fingerprint activated handgun safe. We have looked at many different designs over the years, but have found most fingerprint activated safes to be either crude in their design or slow to open. A safe that takes 5 seconds or more to open may actually create a dangerous situation. Five seconds may not sound like a long time, but count it out to your self while imagining someone is breaking into your house!

The BioMax Fingerprint Activated Handgun Safe is new on the market, but is actually a improvement over a previous safe companies design marketed under Bio Secure which is now out of business. The BioMax opens in about 2 seconds and can be programmed for up to 10 different users.  

Bio-Max’s advanced pressure-sensitive sensor is unlike other sensors in the market, it allows you to clearly sense both dry and wet fingers. It also has the largest sensing area, which enables you to capture a complete fingerprint for higher accuracy of recognition or authentication. Your fingerprint is the key, so that only those who are authorized can open the case.  This versatile case with its spacious interior accommodates (2) Handguns and also provides secure storage for jewelry, medications, evidence, sensitive documents and other valuables at home or while traveling. It Operates on (2) 9-Volt batteries (included) with a power saving mode to provide maximum battery life with low battery alert. The BioMax’s interior dimensions are 11½”L x 8½”W x 2¾”H and it weighs about 8½ pounds. It includes a locking cable and also works with an optional mounting plate to secure it to a wall, bed frame, etc. The BioMax can be purchased from Explore Products for around $369.99.
