Well, I had quite the wake-up call this morning (pardon the pun.) My security alarm went off at 5:00 AM. It has NEVER had a false trip. I jumped up and went for the gun-vault under my bed, and could not get it to open (the battery was low). I spent about a minute pushing buttons, and gave up. So, I ran to my backup (the locker) and in the dim light, and half asleep, I could not remember, or work the code. The thought going through my mind was, "I am screwed." It took a good minute to get it open. There is a lesson here, and I am trying to fully understand the best fix for it. Understand that I have been using these vaults for over a decade, so they are not new to me.
What I learned is, that when it's go-time, you need something in your hand RIGHT NOW! Not fumbling with buttons, codes, dials, or the like. I was comforted to know that what I grabbed didn't need to be racked, or unsafetied (two more things to fiddle with under duress).
Anyone have a methodology for being fully ready in the night?
