The Stash

When people ask you what you want for your birthday, this is a possible suggestion. I'm not suggesting that it's for me. The price and the wristband are enough to discourage me from wanting one. But it's worth a look.

The Gun Box only opens when the RFID chip in the gun box wristband you're wearing is present and you press the button. It's not unlike a fob on a modern automobile where you simply press "start" without turning a key. As far as I can tell, the wristband is likely the biggest downfall of this box. You have to wear it if you want to access your firearm.

Product details from the manufacturer.

The Gun Box RF will only open in response to your individual RFID chip, conveniently embeded in your sleek Gun Box wristband. A simple wave of your hand is all that stands between you and your gun.

Specifications:
Aircraft strength aluminum alloy shell
Internal motion/vibration sensor with audible alarm
Sleek wristband for quick access
2 USB ports for charging devices or connecting accessories
Battery backup with shut off switch
Mounting holes to allow for mounting in any orientation
Kensington lock port (lock and cable not included)



thegunbox.com has more details. There are different models that range in price from $279 to $475. The deluxe gun box has GPS tracking embedded in the box so if somebody takes your box (and what's in it) you can hunt them down and beat them like an unwanted stepchild.
