Reddit reviews UTG Firearm Cable Lock F5.3mmX15", California DOJ Approved

Jesus. I don't keep my pistol in a safe but that's because I don't have kids or pets. Even when my friends come over I put the pistol back in the normal carrying case and toss it under the bed.

I couldn't imagine leaving guns unlocked if I had kids in the house, especially if they were literally autistic. What the fuck.

(For those wondering, all my other guns have cable padlocks on them and are in a locking closet, and the ammo is stored under my bed in a separate room. I don't have a real safe because I don't have a house yet and don't feel like dragging a 300lb rifle safe up flights of stairs every time I move)

And how do you prove that it was unsecured and that the kid didn't get a key or figure out the safe combination was mom's birthday? Do you mandate only AtlasCo Brand Safes with key, combo and biometric locks be used?

Is this secure?

How about this hand forged rectangle of stamped steel?

What about this one? It has "Ultra Strong" right in the name.

"Secure the weapons and make the owners liable if something bad happens" is one of those glib platitudes tossed out by people who put more time into selecting their wacky shirt of the day than they do into real gun control.

Be a super-cool dad/ex-husband and show them how you roll. Buy them a Stack-On Cabinet for less than $100.00


Alternatively, if money is tight, go with some cable locks as /u/Gun_Defender mentioned earlier in this post.


If you're concerned about your kid (or anyone else's) who visits her home, $100.00 is chump change for piece of mind.

Use a cable-type gun lock. Put it around the chin bar of the helmet and around some immovable part of the bike (frame, grab handle, etc.). It won't keep your helmet from getting rained on or pissed in, but the average thief will just steal someone else's helmet.

If you're in the US, locks similar to that one can be had free from your local police department as part of Project Childsafe. You can also get them with a combination instead of a key, but the free ones are always keyed.

Just do what /u/TwoWheeledTraveler said. Buy a cheap cable lock off Amazon and bring it with you to the store/FFL, show them it, and walk out with your gun. It's a Maryland law that every handgun must leave the shop with a lock.

Actually..if you're buying a brand new g17 directly from your FFL/Glock it will come with a cable lock and you shouldn't have to worry about buying one. If not, just buy this

You'll more than likely never use the thing, at least I dont..it just sits in the box still in the plastic wrapping.
