  • Gun Locks provided through "ProjectChildSafe".

    " ProjectChildSafe" is the nation's largest firearm safety education program. Since 2003, the nationwide distribution of safety kits that includes a cable-style gun locking device and safety education materials, has reminded gun owners to properly store firearms in the home in order to prevent a loaded firearm from falling into the hands of a child, thereby preventing tragic accidents.

    A gun lock (also called a trigger lock) is a vinyl-covered steel cable that you thread through the chamber on a pistol, revolver, or rifle to prevent the firearm's action from closing. It resembles a smaller version of a bicycle cable lock in which both ends are secured by a padlock that can quickly be opened with a key.
    Gun locks fit most -- but not all -- guns

    Why Lock Up Your Firearm?

  • Prevent Children From Being Injured or Killed
  • Prevent Crimes From Being Committed With Your Gun
  • Prevent Depressed Teens From Committing Suicide
  • Keep Schools Gun-free
