The fear of an intruder taking your gun can be alleviated with this fingerprint scanning lock box… unless they chop off your hand first, of course.

When guns fall into the wrong hands, tragedies can happen. The makers of The Gun Box want to change that with a high-tech box that can only be opened with a fingerprint scanner or radio devices.

The basic version of The Gun Box sells for $300 ($225 for special pre-order) and it has a biometric fingerprint scanner that can hold multiple fingerprints. That means it can only be opened when you swipe your fingerprint over a biometric scanner, or when you scan a radio frequency identification (RFID) ring or wristband across it. The case is made of an aircraft-strength aluminum alloy, so that it is very hard to break open.
