Gun Safety
Free Gun Locks
Through this collaboration with the Chapel Hill Police Department, the Carrboro Police Department, and the Orange County Sheriff's Department, they are offering free gun locks to members of our community.
Safe firearm storage is one of the most effective ways to prevent accidental injuries, theft, and unauthorized access, especially involving children and teens. A properly secured firearm can make all the difference in protecting lives.
Gun locks are simple devices that prevent a firearm from being loaded or fired. When used correctly, they add an important layer of protection in any home where firearms are present. We strongly encourage all gun owners to store firearms unloaded, locked, and separate from ammunition.
