A Closer Look...
Heart of Hestia Branding
Heart of Hestia is a brand that seeks to educate families on the importance of firearm storage, provide an alternative product to increase storage security, and protect American families and their rights.
How Might We?
How might we: create the feeling of safety with guns In the house.
How might we: reduce the risk of violence committed with guns.
How might we: encourage women and American families to feel safer.
History:
The Heart of Hestia safe was created in 2021 after a record year of deaths caused by unsafe and illegal gun handling. The owners wanted to make gun ownership
more comfortable for families that live in high risk neighborhoods or cities with break-ins, specifically families with children. We create protection with families and mental health in mind.
Product:
Heart of Hestia has pioneered a gun safe that alerts 911 when it is opened by any person who is unauthorized.
The safe has a biometric lock that will not notify the police so that the owner can safely remove and replace their gun at any time.
"When you keep your guns safe, you keep your family safe."
