The El Dorado Police Department has free gun locks available to help keep kids safe, along with a free guide to responsible gun ownership with each one.
This is a program the department participated in years ago and they are getting involved again. The gun locks are made available through ProjectChildSafe.org.
Project ChildSafe® is a nationwide education program that promotes responsible gun ownership and safe storage of firearms in the home. The program was developed by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF®), the trade association for the firearm industry, to raise awareness about firearm safety. Central to the program are the free cable-style gun locks and educational materials gun owners can use to securely store their guns away from unauthorized persons, including children, at-risk individuals and criminals.
If you would like a gun lock, please come to the Police Department or ask an officer for one.
