Anyone who owns firearms should invest in a gun safe. Gun safes are extra layers of defense against children or burglars obtaining loaded weapons and causing harm to other individuals. Not surprisingly, 90% of all gun-related suicides over the past decade have come from firearms accessed in their very household or that of a relative, according to Healthychildren.org. Wrangler provides effective gun safes to keep weapons out of children's hands, and here are their best three:

BFX Gun Safe

These gun safes are built like a refrigerator, with storing space available on the back of the door for two long guns, smaller weapons, cartridges, and ammunition. Three shelves and excessive floor space allow plenty of room for weapons or even a small cabinet to store smaller items in drawers. The locking mechanism is spy-proof with a 5-point security door. Bolts connect the door to the shell when closed, and all exterior surfaces are two inches thick, creating a high-security door frame. This safe comes with a five-year warranty.

NF Gun Safe

Similar to the BFX Gun Safes, these safes do not have storing spaces on their doors. They are primarily depository safes. The doors for this safe are only a quarter of an inch thick, but the shell is made of steel. Fire protection is included in this safe's warranty, and the design is made in a way that keeps out fire and smoke.

Defense Vault

While the previous two gun safes have been standup units ideal for a basement, this safe is long and thin, ideal for underneath the bed. This safe is foam-padded and operates like a tray that slides out for easy access. The listed ESL5 lock includes a stealth mode for silent access to your weapon. The safe itself can actually be secured to the floor so it never slides out of place.

Gun safes are the gold standard for all firearm owners. They teach a valuable lesson in that, while these items are defensive in nature, they can still cause harm when misused and must be kept under lock and key at all times. Guns are not toys.
