“Dellinger said he opened the [trigger] lock in three seconds, although he conceded that was in daylight.”

What BS. You can’t put a trigger lock on a loaded gun without greatly increasing the likelihood of an unintended discharge. So use of a trigger lock means you then have to load the gun after the lock is removed. Meanwhile the intruder has gotten bored from waiting for you to load and has already killed you and your family.

The common trigger lock is just plain dangerous on a revolver. You can still release the cylinder and load it with the lock in place. Versions with an exposed hammer can have the hammer cocked with the lock in place. Again, with a little care, you can pull the entire lock assembly rearward to pull the trigger. It's a dangerous and stupid thing to do, but entirely possible. The right way to lock a revolver is to open the cylinder and put a padlock around the backstrap. It is them impossible to fire. A semi-auto should have the mag removed and the lock shackle pushed from the breech end of the magazine through the grip. That prevents the bolt from closing. Again, that prevents firing. The previously mentioned means of locking are intended only if you really don't want the firearm to be loaded and fired.

I chose a 5 button safe to keep my loaded firearms arms secured and still quickly accessible.
