My sister used to watch over my mother’s shoulder as she entered the combination to her medication safe (cancer pain meds). Kids are sneaky and you have to be way, way more careful than you expect.

No, you have to be not stupid and realize they are sneaky little fuckers.

It's not like most gun safes are just sitting out in the kitchen or living room, especially in a household with kids. So kick them out of your bedroom and close the door while you're retrieving the firearms so they can't see the combination.

Also biometric safes are pretty common these days, then you can keep the backup physical key in a safe deposit box at the bank or even with a friend.

There is such a thing as a biometric gun safe. If you have children and guns, get one and keep your guns in it.

Fwiw I would never store my guns in electronics dependent safes, which have their own caveats too. A device that sent alrets when a safe or case is opened is an idea im sure im not the first one to have and could be a reasonable requirement for firearm owners.

Quite a few biometric safes are garbage though.
