From SEAL Teams to SecureIt: Tom Kubiniec's Home Safety Secrets

In this episode of Around the House with Eric G , we sit down with Tom Kubiniec , CEO of SecureIt Tactical and one of the nation’s leading experts on gun safety, firearm storage, and home security . With decades of experience designing military armories for elite units like the Navy SEALs, Tom brings his unique perspective to civilian gun owners who want to protect their families while maintaining secure and responsible firearm access. Tom challenges the traditional gun safe industry , pointing out why most safes are little more than “metal boxes” that don’t deliver true firearm security . Instead, he introduces the innovative idea of decentralized storage —strategically placing fast-access safes throughout the home so your firearms are both secure and accessible when needed. Key topics we cover include: Why most gun safes fail to provide real security or fire protection. How decentralized firearm storage increases safety and accessibility. Practical home security tips like motion-sensor lighting and making your home less attractive to burglars. The dangers of hidden firearms in homes with children—and safer alternatives for responsible gun owners . Why secure firearm access is just as important as locking things away. Whether you’re a long-time gun owner or just someone interested in home safety , this episode offers valuable insights that go far beyond the basics of locking up firearms. Tom’s mix of practical advice, humor, and straight talk makes this a must-listen for anyone serious about responsible gun ownership and home security . 👉 Tune in now to learn how to better protect your firearms, your home, and your loved ones with SecureIt Tactical’s smarter storage solutions . Takeaways: Tom Kubiniec emphasizes the absurdity of traditional gun safes, claiming they're just metal boxes that completely miss the point of actual firearm security. Decentralized storage is the way to go; hiding firearms in multiple locations is smarter than cramming them into one big safe like a game of Tetris. Motion sensor lights are your best friends for home security; light up your house like a Christmas tree to scare off any would-be thieves. Tom hilariously points out that a big safe is like telling thieves, 'Hey, look at all my valuables!' while decentralized storage keeps them guessing.
