Safe handling of weapons in your home

The security of your own home is a basic need. Fortunately, you live in the middle of Europe, which is generally a safe place on earth, with functioning legal systems. Nevertheless, since the Corona pandemic, there have been worrying developments in the area of ​​burglary. In 2023, the police registered almost 78,000 burglaries in Germany - and the trend is rising in most European countries. The feeling of one's own vulnerability can lead to legitimate concerns. Our bedside table with integrated safe/gun cabinet offers you the opportunity to store a classified weapon safely and in accordance with the law in your bedroom and thus feel a little safer. But with this opportunity comes great responsibility.

Legal framework for weapons storage

Germany has one of the strictest gun laws in the world. Anyone who owns a firearm must prove that they handle it responsibly. According to Section 36 of the Weapons Act (WaffG), firearms that require a permit must be stored in a certified gun safe to prevent unauthorized access. Our bedside table offers you a safe and standard-compliant solution that meets the legal requirements.

Responsible use of weapons for self-defense

The German right of self-defense (§ 32 StGB) allows citizens to defend themselves against attacks - but always in a proportionate manner. This means that the use of a firearm in a threatening situation may only be considered as a last resort.

If you find yourself in a situation where a burglar breaks into your home, here are some things you should consider:

1. De-escalation and self-protection

Your own safety and that of your family is the top priority. If possible, avoid direct confrontation. Lock yourself in a safe room and call the police (110).

2. Self-defense requires an acute threat

The use of a firearm is only justified if there is an immediate threat to life or limb. The mere presence of a burglar is not enough.

3. Maintain proportionality

The law requires that a defensive action is proportionate to the threat. A warning shout, a warning shot or a threat can in many cases already have a deterrent effect.

4. Knowledge of gun laws

Every gun owner should familiarize themselves with the legal framework and regularly attend training courses.

5. Safe and fast accessibility - just for you!

The bedside safe with electronic combination lock gives you quick, yet secure access to your weapon. Make sure that no one but you knows the combination. This is the only way to prevent unauthorized persons, especially children, from getting their hands on the weapon.

Our appeal to responsible citizens

Our bedside table with integrated gun safe is aimed at mature and responsible citizens who want to legitimately prepare for potentially dangerous situations. However, we expressly do not encourage the careless or rash use of a firearm. Instead, we offer a secure storage solution that meets legal requirements while ensuring the safety and peace of mind of our customers.

We advise every gun owner to continually familiarize themselves with the current laws, to regularly attend safety training courses and to always act prudently. A well-thought-out safety strategy does not begin with the weapon, but with clever prevention, deterrence and a cool head in dangerous situations.
