What is a Gun Lock?
A gun lock is a device which is intended to prevent a weapon from discharging. There are several basic styles of gun lock available, designed for guns ranging from revolvers to heavy duty rifles. Many people believe that a gun lock is an important aspect of firearms safety, along with proper training and other security procedures. The use a gun lock may help to prevent a gun from being used by a child or an inexperienced user who could cause inadvertent injuries.

So a gun lock is just not a good in between at all.
