Handling Firearms

With approximately 15 million firearms legally sold each year over the past five years in the United States, it is important to consider the vast number of firearms present in our nation. These millions of firearms are dispersed across numerous households in our cities, states, and nationwide.

Are these firearms being responsibly secured? Given the high incidence of accidental shootings, 911 Vault understands the critical importance of proper firearm storage. The founder of 911 Vault, with over 20 years of experience in law enforcement, firearm sales, and the military, has successfully managed the safety of his family, which includes his wife and four children, without a single accident. His commitment to firearm safety is unwavering.

Educating children about firearms and the potential dangers of improper use is essential. Firearms are tools that must be handled responsibly. Teaching children about firearm safety from a young age ensures they grow up with a respect for and understanding of proper firearm use. The founder, a regular shooting enthusiast, practices shooting with his family, further emphasizing the importance of safety—a principle that has resulted in zero accidents.

The four primary rules of firearm safety are:

• Treat all firearms as if they are loaded: Always assume a firearm is loaded, even if you think it's not. 
• Keep your finger off the trigger: Keep your finger outside the trigger guard and up high alongside the frame until you're ready to shoot. 
• Keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction: Point the gun so that even if it goes off, it won't cause injury or damage. 
• Know your target and what's beyond it: Be aware of where the gun is pointing, and what it's pointing at. 

The 911 Vault EDC Safe was developed to address specific needs, primarily the founder's requirement for a rapid-response safe due to his concealed carry permit. Transitioning from inadequately made larger safes to fabricating genuine, American-made safes, the 911 Vault EDC Safe exemplifies quality and reliability.
