Apart from the first bit where he misses two of the 4 rules, it's readable.

why wouldn't you use the same type of safe in your car as you would have on your bedside?

also, he says always use combo locks for the lockers at home to prevent children getting into it, or lock the keys in one that realtors use? (i'm assuming realtors use those simple 5 pins, press in set order type?) now speaking from my experience as a youth... if i saw a combo lock, and was bored, I knew I could open it if i just sat there and tried each number in turn, and i'm sure I wouldn't be alone in that. Is he trying to tell his readers, if his kids are bored at home, and wanted access, that they wouldn't just sit and play with it?
whereas if you had the keys on you when you arent at home, OR had a keysafe that had a key lock, and kept your keys in that, and had the 1 small key for the locker on your car keys etc, that your children would then be able to get into your cabinet?

We have an electronic combo lock on our small gunsafe here - get it wrong three times and it locks you out till the owner resets it..

If kids are that bored they rrsort to playing with security then they need to (a) get a life and (b) Get a damns serious "talking to" from their parents! If they are very young then what are they doing alone.

All down to educating them from the outset.

Keys get put down, especially car keys and if a safe
key is attached I think the chance of the keys being picked
up and played with are higher than a combination lock being
picked.

i suppose it depends where the safe is, vs keys.

my car keys are on a lanyard attached to me 95% of the time
