Trigger and Cable Gun Locks for Safe Firearm Storage
Firearm storage is one place to be plain and careful. A trigger or cable lock is a basic layer that keeps a firearm from being fired while it is stored or transported, and it is not a substitute for a safe. The point is to add friction and responsibility, especially in a house with kids or guests.
Cable locks thread through the action to keep it open and are broadly compatible, while trigger locks clamp over the guard. Fit and compatibility with your specific firearm are the whole game here, so check that before anything else.
