This -- on one of these: Gun Vault. Amazon delivers.

If you ever need a firearm to protect your family, you'll need it ASAP. A gun vault in or on a nightstand is probably the fastest, most reliably accessible option. All the electronic/biometric/whatever have one issue in common - the potential for a dead battery. And if you're a believer in Murphy's Laws, you'll avoid the battery-powered stuff - unless you think you can find your backup key in the middle of the night, and insert it into the lock, in time to save your family.

As far a handgun calibers - don't overthink or try to reinvent this wheel. If you need reinforcement of your initial thoughts about getting a 9mm -that's the caliber the FBI issues (and the default issue weapon for the FBI is a Glock 19).

If this is your first kid, you won't need to lock the gun vault for at least a year (unless you acquired a homicidal wife, in which case never leave it unlocked ). But whenever you are ready to use the lock, you get to select a combination.

If your spousal unit is truly freaking out over having a gun in the house, you might want to consider getting her some training (not from you - from a certified instructor) Husbands should never try to teach a wife to drive or to shoot . I don't know where you're located, but if it's in/near BR, I'll be glad to provide a lesson pro bono.
