Kid locks himself in Costco Gun Safe

[scheesman]

Don't they normally lock these things open so you can't do this?

I need one for when my 5 year old gets out of line.



Thank God someone saw that kid go in there or that they heard him screaming once he was in...That could have turned out a LOT worse.

I also thought the safes were locked open so this couldn't happen. But shouldn't the people that work there know the codes anyway in case someone shuts it and they need to open it again for display purposes.

That poor kid must've taken a giant .

The video on that page is just random shots of a Costco, with no speech. Weird.

There's a gene pool without a lifeguard!!

I always wondered about the chance of an accident like this at Gander Mtn. Some of their safes are open and you could easily lock someone inside. I like the Dicks's model where if you want to see the insides, they go find the key/combo and show you.

IMHO if any store is going to display an unlocked safe then it should be a demo unit that is impossible to lock.

Don't let that kid into a Lowe's or Home Depot. All those open refrigerators would be too much temptation.

The kid was 11 years old.

I think that they should keep them locked.And if someone is interested. then they sould open them.so that can not hapen.

Not sure how this could happen without assistance from outside. My safe (and I think it is rather typical) requires the door to be shut tightly, the opening lever to be rotated thru about 30 degrees to move the locking lugs and the S&G combination dial to be rotated to complete the lock.

Not sure of the activation process on an electronic combination lock but the other steps are necessary, I am sure.

Did I miss something in the OP?

LOL, you're right. The headline might possibly need to be revised to "Parent/Sibling Locks Child in Gun Safe".

I'm not surprised. Most 30 year olds are 11 years old.

This is pretty amusing! I'll expect Congress to be taking up a measure against gun safe manufacturers now. I can just hear Barney Frank now, "we'th need'th to punish-th these-th criminals-th!"

This is very much so a political discussion. What information do you think politicians use to take away our rights? People doing stupid things like getting locked in safes.

I agree
