Saint Mary's Sheriff providing free gun locks

[Inigoes]

If any new parents are out there with a need to secure their firearms, the Saint Mary's County sheriff is giving residents cable locks for their firearms.

LEONARDTOWN, MD (October 18, 2023) – The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office (SMCSO) will distribute free firearm safety kits to county residents in a community safety initiative. The initiative comes in the wake of Governor Wes Moore signing into law an important piece of legislation in May: Firearm Safety – Storage Requirements and Youth Suicide Prevention, S.B. 858, Jaelynn’s Law. Adherence to the law requires proper residential storage practices, such as gun locks on every weapon.

Cable-style gun locks, suitable for most types of handguns, rifles and shotguns, and a safety curriculum are included in the free firearm safety kits that can be obtained at the following locations on weekdays from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.:

SMCSO Headquarters, 23150 Leonard Hall, Leonardtown, MD.
SMCSO District 1 Station, 37575 Charlotte Hall Rd., Charlotte Hall, MD.
SMCSO District 3 Station, 23125 Camden Way, California, MD.
SMCSO District 4 Station, 21633 Great Mills Rd., Lexington Park, MD.

Please note that each household can receive up to two of these kits, subject to availability, while supplies last. This program underscores SMCSO’s commitment to promoting firearm safety within the community.

"Could I have 137 gun locks??"

The program has been in existence for over 20 years. It's the " Safe Streets" program. Every police department in the state has or has access to free gun locks. Whether they know where they are is a different story.

No Blarkstar, we need to be paranoid at every threshold.

Just don't. Ever new firearm has a cable lock included. I may have a bunch of them that I have never used. Granted, my kids were late teens the first time we may have bought anything.
