Message from the Inventor
With gun ownership comes gun responsibility. We need to keep our loaded guns locked up and safe from children and distraught teenagers. We need to secure our loaded guns in a way that intruders can't easily use them against us or steal them for use in a violent street crime.
The idea for GUNPUCK™ was born out of my desire to lock up my guns in a way that would give me instant access and yet be very secure. Now, with a GUNPUCK™ on my guns, I am ready to defend my family, yet my guns are locked up and safe for my family. If someone breaks into our home, they will not be able to use my guns against us.
The motivation to sell GUNPUCKs to other gun owners came from reading the horrific news stories about children and teenagers being injured or killed by loaded guns. We can stop these senseless tragedies through innovation and education.
In addition, I wanted to extend GUNPUCK™ security and readiness to a car, truck, RV, camper or motorcycle.
