Locked/unlocked debate aside. I installed a ShurShot stock on my 870 and now the provided lock will not fit. This would be a good solution.

I tend to think its good practice to have your idol (not used for protection) guns locked. For me its more about peace of mind.

I prefer the Mossberg Loc-Box, since it locks the shotgun AND mounts it in place. A thief is less likely to spend the time to rip it off the wall.

@Mang – While you do say two true things, I disagree about the relationship. Locks on a gun are like locks on your door – a good idea if you need to keep honest people honest. And it is also true that a stolen gun likely arms a criminal. But I don’t see any connection whatsoever. A stolen gun with a lock on it will so quickly have that lock cut or drilled, it may as well have not even been there.

I’m personally not allowed to use guns for self-defense (local laws), but if I were I’d probably carry a handgun on my person at all times. A shotgun placed somewhere in your house (locked or not) is not going to help you if you happen to be elsewhere in the house or outside when attacked.

I want a scattergun for home defense.

I also have two small boys.

Yes, they’ve been taught not to touch Daddy’s guns. But I can’t watch them 24/7, and one mistake is too many when in comes to firearms and young kids.

I use a GanVault pistol safe to keep my current home defense gun secure, and this could be a great option for my future home defense shotgun.

If you can’t have a safe for whatever reason, go ahead and get a lock. I was just reading through the “stolen guns” thread at the HKPro forums and it’s a sobering reminder that guns really do get stolen. Not only are you losing several hundred dollars plus of your property, but *your* gun ends up in the hands of criminals and possibly murderers.
