As a responsible shooter, it's always best to keep your AR-15 and other guns locked up when not in use. While you want to have one or two at the ready in case of an intruder, even those can be locked up safely. Many accidental shootings happen because of firearms falling into the wrong hands.

TYPES OF GUN SAFES FOR YOUR AR-15
Biometric Gun Safes
Many people argue against having a gun safe because in the heat of the moment when you are trying to enter a combination, it may be too late to retrieve your firearm in an emergency situation. Biometric gun safes eliminate all of that worry. These gun safes read your palm or your fingerprint instantly and only open for an authorized user. An intruder or someone else, such as a child, would not be able to open one of these safes, giving you peace of mind that not only is your gun safe, but also that you can access it quickly when needed.
Rifle Gun Safes
A rifle gun safe is made specifically for rifles. They are tall enough for the large AR-15s and big enough to hold your extra gear, such as extra ammunition, and roomy enough to accommodate your scopes. Plus, most rifle safes are tall and skinny, so they don't take up as much room as traditional gun safes. This also means they are not as heavy, which is another reason people don't invest in traditional gun safes for their home. Do remember that if you plan on adding to your gun collection over time, it's best to buy the next size up in gun safes so that you won't have to buy another one any time soon.
Electronic Lock Gun Safes
Electronic lock gun safes for AR-15s are extremely popular and are opened and closed by using a keypad. Some newer electronic lock gun safes have a small screen to see the numbers entered, too. Some have an additional security code as well for owners to enter. These gun safes come in many different configurations and sizes, so it's important to understand your needs, the length of your gun, and how many guns you will be storing in order to find the right fit for you.
Under the Bed Gun Safes
Many people love under the bed gun safes for their AR-15s. After all, if an intruder comes, it's most often at night, and you'll most likely be in bed. Many of these gun safes feature steel construction, an easy-to-open electronic lock with an illuminated keypad, and a slide-out gun tray for quick access. These gun safes are designed to fit underneath most beds unseen, which is perfect for if you have frequent guests or children in the house.
Wall Mount Gun Safes
A bit on the untraditional side, wall mount gun safes are gaining popularity as they are easy to hide, quick to access, and can be stored, loaded and ready to go. These AR-15 gun safes can be mounted hidden in your closet or behind furniture. They are made of steel with a push button that can be opened in seconds. The trigger is fully enclosed within the safe, so you can store it loaded, along with extra clips. This is the ultimate safe for someone who wants to be able to access their firearm in an instant if something happens.
Hidden Gun Safes
Hidden gun safes are gaining in popularity because you can have your AR-15 hidden all over your home for easy access. After all, you can't predict where an intruder will enter or which room you will be in when they do. Hidden gun safes have traditionally been incorporated into furniture so that no one knows there's a gun there but you. Coffee tables, book shelves, cabinets, armoire, concealment mirrors, benches, shelves, and more are popular choices.
