[Straw Man]

Why would you need a dummy that locks up if messed with if the gun is empty? The whole purpose of the Safety Bullet it to render a loaded gun unusable to anyone but the person who is "in the know."

Put your gun in the safe unloaded. If that isn't secure enough, put a trigger or cable lock on it. The Safety Bullet lock-up is more easily defeated than a good cable lock anyway: one good rap with a cleaning rod as opposed to wrestling with a hacksaw or bolt cutters. A thief who gets away with your gun will eventually be able to render it operable, regardless of what kind of locking device is used.

Nor would the Safety Bullet guarantee protection against the worst-case scenario of a child who cracks your safe and tries to load the gun; the kid might very well work the action before loading the gun. Presto: operable firearm. It's a crapshoot, and could go either way.

No, I don't see any use for this device.
