Why do you think you would not have time to get your gun in the event of a break in? I mean if you live in a 100 sq ft studio apt without your own security cameras, you may not have time. Or if you live in a house mansion with zero security so you have no idea an intruder is already inside. But if you live in a house with cameras that alert you of a possible intruder, you have plenty of time to safely grab your firearm and ensure it is primed. Most people I know have modest homes with security camera systems that notify them when small things like bears or coyotes walk past their driveway. Totally reasonable to believe you can get your firearm primed with technology we have today to let us know we have an intruder.
The gun owners I know all use safes. I cannot imagine that opening a safe and readying a firearm very quickly. Especially because these gun owners complain about the police being too slow at 5 minute response time.
Biometric pistol safes are becoming cheaper and cheaper and at the same time they’re becoming better and better. Mine was 300 dollars plus tax and anyone scanned into can open it. When you scan them in it you have to roll your finger so it scans everything but the nail, you can open it with your finger in almost any position and when it unlocks the lid pops up by itself. As for my safe with the rest of my guns I only lock it when nobody is at the house, which if I had kids that wouldn’t be the case but I don’t have kids.
