Gun Safe Security.

How secure is your licensed gun?

Crime involving shotguns and rifles has increased by a whopping 54% over the the past five years

Clearly, in the wrong hands these firearms are very dangerous weapons and their use in violent crimes such as aggravated burglaries and robberies is on the increase again.

In fact, as the figures show, over the past five years the numbers of reported crimes where shotguns or rifles were used as the principle weapon have increased by a staggering 54% (April-March 2015/16 compared to the same period in 2019/20):

Interestingly, the ONS have reported that in 2019, offences involving firearms were disproportionately concentrated in urban areas, with almost 6 in 10 offences (58%) recorded in five metropolitan Police Force areas (Metropolitan Police, West Midlands, West Yorkshire, Greater Manchester and Merseyside). But this in not necessarily where these weapons are coming from!

 Although legally licensed guns are tightly controlled in the UK, many that were once legally owned are ending up on the black market after being stolen from their owners emphasising the importance of adequate shotgun security measures being considered.

For example, as the BBC highlight, a legal gun covered by a firearm licence could be stolen from a farm or firearms dealer.  In fact, murdered MP Jo Cox was killed with a gun that had been stolen from a licensed owner.

Major concerns have been raised concerning gun security after a recent data breach has caused 100,000 names and addresses of UK customers of a leading website for buying and selling shotguns and rifles to be shared on the dark web. The British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC) warned its members to be vigilant around home security following the breach.

Gun ownership in the UK is tightly controlled, making guns difficult to acquire and therefore an attractive, valuable target to criminals. This breach adds to the existing threat of gun owners being targeted by unscrupulous criminal gangs.

Leading the Way.

Like a security safe, it takes a locksmith about 20 minutes to open a gun-safe.  Most burglaries take less than 10 minutes. A burglar targeting a gun-safe, will steal the entire safe by prying it from the wall in a couple of minutes and take it away to open later, where they won’t be caught.  Traditional tracking devices don’t work until the safe is opened…by which time it’s too late. 

Triforce Technology are developing Gun-Track a gun security cabinet tracking device that works exactly like it’s SafeGuardian product and will help reduce the number of licensed guns stolen from homes and farms in the UK. Reducing gun theft, reduces the number of illegal guns on the street and is a direct way to reduce gun crime. 

If you own a licensed firearm, then you need Gun-Track to keep your weapons and ammunition safe from burglars that are targeting your home specifically because you have a gun.
