I need a trigger lock (or some similar locking device) for a shotgun in the bedroom, but I don't want to be futzing with a key, or even a combination. I know someone used to make a trigger lock that was manually opened by "squeezing" a tab on the lock. The idea was kids couldn't manipulate it but adults could. I know there are other solutions out there, as well, but I'm not finding anything that fits the bill. I don't have any kind of legal requirement I'm trying to meet. I have a 13-year old son I'm looking to defeat, not a burglar. I'm looking to defeat natural curiosity and normal dexterity, not malicious intent.
I don't want a storage locker or one of those mounts that screws the gun to the wall. The "storage" location doesn't permit that. I'm looking for something that will let me keep the gun in cruiser ready (hammer down on an empty chamber, magazine loaded), but that I can relatively quickly return to "go" status.
Not looking to debate the idea of locks. I'm soliciting lock suggestions. Hopefully we can confine the discussion to that topic. Thanks in advance for the help.
