Free gun locks will be distributed
from the police station to any town resident. The
Richmond Police Department received these gun locks from
Project ChildSafe.
Project ChildSafe is a nationwide program whose purpose
is to promote safe firearms handling and storage
practices among all firearms owners through the
distribution of key safety education messages and free
gun locking devices.
No firearm's safety or lock can be a substitute for
safe, careful gun handling and storage. This lock is
intended to discourage unauthorized access to a firearm,
particularly by young children. This lock may be cut or
defeated by a determined individual and may not prevent
intentional misuse of a firearm.

SAFETY TIPS
Keep all firearms
locked in a safe place, away from children and other
unauthorized persons.
Store ammunition under lock and key, separately from
firearms.
Read and understand the owner’s manual that came with
your firearm.
Follow safe gun handling practices: keep muzzle pointed
in a safe direction; keep fingers off the trigger; and
keep the firearm unloaded when not in use.
