NYPD Officers To Receive Donated Gun Locks



Police officers have received donated safety locks for their guns. The main reason for this is to avoid accidents at home. Project ChildSafe announced on Tuesday that it has donated 33,000 cable locks. This cable lock prevents a handgun from being fired. The donation started after a gun accident killed an officer's 14-year old son last month on long island. The Patrolmen's Benevolent Association will distribute the locks to its members in precincts around New York City. The gun lock kits also include a booklet on safe firearm storage. A $50 million grant from the Department of Justice funded Project ChildSafe, an organization that raises awareness about firearms safety.

This new safety lock is for police officers only. If you own a gun yourself, i would advise you to either purchase one yourself or handle your gun with care. This safety lock is proven to save lives and prevent less accidents that have occurred. This safety lock may be the future of gun safety thanks to Project ChildSafe.
