Default Calling gun owners

Hi guys,

Please help me complete the survey questions below. I'm doing this for a class project. The picture added for visualization. I need at least 20 people if possible. Thank you for your time.



1- Do you have a shotgun or other long gun for home defense?
2- Are you interested in a rapid access, in-wall safe to store it?
3- Are you willing to pay $800 for a unit significantly more secure then current "gym locker" type products?
4- What type of access do you prefer? Touchpad? Fingerprint scanner? Bluetooth? Other?
5- How many long guns do you own? 1? 2? 3 or more?
6- Do you own a full size gun safe?
7- Are there any features that you would especially value? (email: TrishleSystems@gmail.com)

1) No.
2) No.
3) No.
4) N/A.
5) None.
6) No.
7) None, since I don't own one.

8) I do have a couple of hand guns though.

Oh, for a long gun other than shot guns, you can call it a rifle.

1- Yes, but I don't use it for home defense... I use a handgun, which is much easier to maneuver around hallways and corners with.
2- Yes
3- Depends by what you mean "significantly more secure than "gym locker type lockers" ...I've never seen a "gym locker" type gun safe. And would never use one. Almost all full-size gun safes are extremely heavy duty, bolted to the floor, and have 30 minutes to 1+ hours of fire protection. (I assume you are talking about full size gun safes)

Yes I would be interested in an "in-wall gun safe, but if it is not hidden, it would be pointless IMO, also it would need to be very secure, sturdy, and have at least 1 hour of fire protection. Anything less, and no I'm not really interested.

To me, it would be kind of pointless to have a in-wall gun safe that stored one or two guns, but then have a big safe with all the rest of my guns that is easy for intruders to see/find.

4- Biometric/fingerprint
5- None of your business... but more than the options
6- Yes
7- Fire protection

Many side arms and edge weapons located in various places in the house here.

Long rifles ? More than I will advertise on a public forum. I buy for myself and my 2 sons ages 13 & 10 a hard feat here in the People's Republik of Anti-Guns Kalifornia.

4 gun safes and one walk-in closet with a special door for restricted entry.

That type of product is better suited for condo / town home situations.

If it flies it dies and then goes on my grill

if I was in the market, yes. At that price point it would need to have the ability to hold 4 or more long arms and at least 2 pistols though.

Fingerprint scanner

5- How many long guns do you own? 1? 2? 3 or more?

More

No

Fire-proof. False bottom "floor" or lower storage.
