If you have kids, I understand the need in these times to have a quick access container. I'd get one with a thumb print lock. Again, fumbling around with a key, or trying to remember a combination in a life and death situation is bad.

A trigger lock on a weapon that you intend to use for HD is one of the best ways to get you/your loves ones killed/hurt/whatever. It takes several seconds under the best conditions to get the thing off, and as Frazod said, your brain probably isn't going to be functioning at peak performance when you'd have to do it.
A trigger lock only makes the bad guy safer from you, no one else. Which is obviously not the intention.
If the gun must be secured from the curious, get a bedside/nightstand small gun safe like the ones in the link I gave above and store it in there along with a spare mag and some kind of light.
