Perhaps, but a 3 year old can’t.

I can open this with my mind, but it takes me 18-20 seconds.

A 3 year old doesn’t have the hand strength to hold, aim, and squeeze the trigger of any normal-frame handgun in the first place.

Not sure about you, but I am definitely not prepared to test your theory.

Apparently, they might be able to if they jam something soft and round in the lock and turn.

Just finished watching reviews and viriiman’s warnings not to buy and the associated lock override videos and I am still going to buy.

My position, and take it for what its worth (nothing), is that the vault is still useful. These are clearly not for securing your gold from pesky thieves trying to supplant your efforts to shield yourself from the evil tyranny of the useless government backed currency.

It is however useful to stop my grand toddlers from getting too curious and killing themselves. Once they are old enough and resourceful enough to pick or force open this vault, they are old enough to have been well educated on the proper handling, use, and safety protocols for firearms.

I’m in for two.

Two-year-old shoots parents after finding gun on nightstand

A West Bath couple was wounded Wednesday morning when their 2-year-old shot them with a handgun. Screengrab.

(WMTW-TV )

In a shocking incident, a two-year-old shot his parents and wounded himself with a gun that he picked up from his parents’ nightstand on Wednesday morning, the police said.

The toddler’s 25-year-old father was hit in the head and his 22-year-old mother in the leg. The incident happened at the couple’s home at New Meadows Road in West Bath, Maine, just before 8 am on Wednesday.

Sagadahoc County Sheriff Joel Merry told the media that the toddler picked up the handgun that was on the nightstand and shot his father and mother and was struck by the recoil of the gun in his face.

All three were taken to Mid Coast Hospital for treatment and police have confirmed that the family is now safe. Mr Merry confirmed that the injuries were not life-threatening.

He also added that the boy’s face injury “was minor and, to my understanding, he was immediately released.”

The couple’s other three-week-old baby, the Press Herald reported, was also present in the room at the time of the incident but wasn’t harmed. The infant has been handed over to his grandmother who the police said also lived in the same house but was not present there at the time of the shooting.

Mr Merry said: “The question of how the boy was able to pick up and fire the weapon is of great concern and is being investigated. This situation, while disturbing, could have had an even more tragic ending.”

He added: “We are thankful that the injuries were not more serious.”

Had one of these break after very little use, but after a year warranty was up. The company didn’t care and wouldn’t send replacement part. I would avoid this company. Low quality.

But… it isn’t.

Look at @viriiman’s clip. That hack is much simpler than actually operating the gun itself, especially if you don’t chamber a round.

If you like, I can post another ten stories of toddlers getting hold of guns and killing their siblings, parents, or themselves. I guess the 2nd amendment applies to two year olds.

Indeed, you see reports of this in the media, yet none are ever confirmed with any independent forensic testing. By blaming the toddler, the actual culprit avoids prosecution. But there has not been a single demonstration of a 2 year old successfully picking up. holding, and aiming an unaltered pistol and squeezing the trigger with enough direct, constant backward force (jerking it won’t fire a properly functioning legal modern handgun) to fire a round, let alone chamber a round first.

The only exceptions are loaded, cooked guns with rounds already chambered, which only idiots would leave unattended.

Remember, far more toddlers drown in buckets than shoot anybody… so put warnings on buckets first.

THIS is the reason that children accidentally shoot others. If people would teach their children respect for not only firearms, but life in general, there would be a lot less killing. My sister and I were raised with guns in the house our entire lives. They were always kept out of our reach until we were old enough to learn how to shoot and the proper safety. Of course, we were taught to respect life from the moment we were born, so… Oddly enough, we are both now grown and, while we both carry, neither of us has ever shot anyone - either accidentally or on purpose. (Thank God we haven’t had to, but… we know how if the need arises and we know how to know when the need arises.)

Note that the gun the two year old supposedly retrieved, carried across the house, pointed, raised to head level, aimed, and fired at a parent, and then repeated the process with the other parent, has three independently acting trigger safeties.

This 2 year old acquired target, aimed, and fired off a second shot?!? These parents have more to teach than just “No, Timmy. Don’t touch this.”

Consider that 2-year-olds do not speak English very well… It’s possible the kid was not the only one needing diapers that day.

Yea, well the 3 safeties thing is bull carp. The only safety that matters (and would have mattered in the situation with a child picking up a Glock), is the trigger “safety”. I consider the Glock trigger safety a joke. ANYONE with a large enough hand can pick up a Glock, INSTINCTIVELY put a finger on the trigger, and pull the trigger. At which point all 3 “safeties” are now “off” and the games begin. Countless stories of police that have accidental fire situations when something wraps around the trigger of a loaded Glock, (like the string from a hoodie etc).
I believe any carry weapon should have an actual physical safety, NOT PART OF THE TRIGGER, that has to be disengaged in an action that could not be considered “instinctive”.

Here is one (of hundreds or likely thousands) story of the “3” Glock safeties at work: https://www.itstactical.com/warcom/firearms/safety-warning-worn-leather-holsters-can-cause-accidental-discharges/
