Background Checks Don’t Stop Criminals from Stealing Firearms
The U.S. Department of Justice said, “75 percent of criminals in state and federal prison who had possessed a firearm during their offense acquired the firearm through theft, 'Off the street/underground market” (Off the street and underground market is typically used when referring to previously stolen and then sold on the “Black Market”).
The ILA (Institute for Legislative Action) said, “So-called ‘universal’ background checks do not stop criminals from obtaining firearms.”
So, if background checks do not stop criminals from stealing firearms or obtaining firearms illegally, what should you do to prevent your firearms from being stolen and used in the commission of furthering crimes.
Vault Pro knows of one sure fire way to ensure your firearms are not stolen, then sold or used in furthering criminal activity…lock them inside a safe!
That’s right, when you aren’t using your firearms for any one of countless lawful reasons, lock them inside a Vault Pro Eagle Series Gun Safe.
Vault Pro’s Eagle Series Safes come in just about any size you could want. Vault Pro’s Eagle Series Safes also come in several levels of security and fireproofing depending on your security needs.

As one of the many millions of responsible gun owners in this country, we understand the need for safety when handling and storing firearms. We all know the first rules of safe gun handling: Always treat a firearm as if it were loaded. Always check to see if there is a round in the chamber when handling a firearm. Always point the firearm in a safe direction in case of accidental discharge. As adults we teach these safety tips to young people who will be the firearms owners of the future. Unfortunately, children may not fully grasp the importance of these rules and may obtain access to firearms that have not been properly secured. This can lead to tragic incidents. Always make sure your weapons are safely secured when not in use. We should all follow the simple steps outlined below and supported by national gun rights groups, such as: NSSF and their ProjectChild Safe program, and the NRA. • Unloaded firearms should be stored in a locked gun safe when not in use. The storage location should not be accessible to children and secured with a locking mechanism with a combination only known by the responsible adult owner of the firearms. • Ammunition should be stored separate from firearms in a secure container, ideally in a safe. • Gun locking devices, such as a cable-style gun lock can provide an added layer of security. • Do a thorough check of ALL firearms being stored to make sure they are completely unloaded. This additional step can prevent accidental discharge when removing firearms from storage. We are proud supporters of the 2nd Amendment, which gives us the right to keep and bear arms. We also feel a great sense of responsibility to make sure we keep those arms safe and secure when not in use. Vault Pro safes far exceed all DOJ requirements and provide the best protection against break-ins and fire. If you are looking for a superior security solution for your firearms or other valuables, please contact us. Stay safe, Tony https://vaultprousa.com
