Each year, countless American children are accidentally killed by weapons that should have been properly secured. If you choose to keep a gun in your home, it is your legal responsibility to ensure that your weapon is stored in a safe manner and it is not accessible to children or other unauthorized persons. Hiding a gun in a drawer, closet or similar location is not safe. Remember, children are extremely curious. If you have an unsecured weapon in your home, there is an excellent chance of them finding it!

Don’t let your child become a statistic!

The National Shooting Sports Foundation has partnered with the CA State Sheriff’s Association, the CA Police Chief’s Association and the CA Department of Fish & Game to distribute 1,211,200 free gun locks in California (the highest allotment of any state) as part of the national Project Child Safe (PCS) initiative. PCS is designed to help make homes with firearms safer by raising awareness about responsible firearm ownership and storage. An expansion of NSSF’s Project Home Safe, Project Child Safe is funded by a $50 million dollar grant from the Department of Justice and will provide nearly 20 million free gun locks and firearm safety educational materials to families in all 50 states, the five U.S. territories and District of Columbia. In 2002, Project Home Safe succeeded in distributing 2.4 million safety kits to 44 states and has significantly raised awareness of firearms safety and responsibility. Gun Locks are available at the Central Police Station, during normal business hours.
