Our SO and PD are handing out free locks, also. Neat little padlocks with about 10" plastic coated cables. I got one for each gun I own. They make great locks for the pump house, tool shed, barn, etc.
(All)My guns are locked and loaded.... always were, always will be.

Would be burglars, if you hear a slide being operated, a bolt pulled back, or a shell being pumped into the chamber it will be from some bad movie playing on the TV. Otherwise, the first (and hopefully the last) sound you hear will be a hammer falling....

"The locks are "a great tool and a great safety device, but they have to use it,? he said."

Two exceptions to that rule.

1] The lock may prevent you from defending yourself and your family.

And:

2] The wrong lock may not prevent a loaded gun from being fired, thus defeating the stated intent of the lock - the safety of innocents.

I have seen guns with these so-called locks in place fire without a problem. My advice is to educate your children and not rely on some false sense of protection.

Cool! Does anyone know if they can be used as bike locks or to lock a gate?

MMM. I just bought an Italian made, newly manufactured .357. I didn't get a lock with it. Should I sue the manufacturer or the gun shop? < Sarcasm >

Do you have to give your name and address to get a "free" lock?

And BTW, "You're welcome, Connecticut." We're always ready to help out our indigent neighbors.

The locks given out Monday fit about 90 percent of the firearms in circulation, Kalbus said.

I think a few of those I favour might well be in that 10%:

Oooh, I'd grab me a boxload of those little locks. They make great targets set out on the berm, and really fly apart when you zip 'em from 150 yards with Black Hills .223 match rounds.
