State Police Launch New Free Firearms Safety Campaign

In case the neighboring junkie comes in with a torch and gets into the safe...he'll be confronted with guns that are secured. (sarc)

I suggest if anyone wants to record their firearms inventory to create their own using an excel spreadsheet. In addition to make mode and serial #, I always record place of purchase and if sold the date of sale and the buyer's name and if for a handgun the ffl holder where transfer too place.

The book sellers at gunshows usually have them too.

Are we talking about these laughably stupid gun locks?



There ain't anything about them that makes them safe. The lock can be picked with a paperclip and the cable can be cut with a pair of dikes.

Even these are useless since they can be easily bypassed with a small screw driver.

I never had any experience with firearms so when I was issued my revolver, way back when, I still lived at home. I only had a desk drawer to secure/hide it in. I wasn’t carrying around a 4 inch S & W Model 10, especially in the summer. One of the range guys showed me how to put my handcuffs through the open cylinder and prevent the gun from being loaded or firing. Then I just had to hide the handcuff key from my parents

yeah, because hand cuff keys are so very difficult to acquire.

How many keys do you have ? And are they for real handcuffs or the sub/dom Toys ?

At the time my parents didn’t have any handcuff keys.

I think there's a couple tucked in my lockpick kit.

I've seen handcuffs (Smith & Wesson) picked with a paper clip.

I've heard dozens of people claim they could , but never saw anyone actually do it.
