that safety locks for guns, both handguns and long guns, are available
at the Law Enforcement Center during regular business hours. The locks
are FREE, and all gun owners are encouraged to safeguard themselves and
others, especially children, by putting the tamper-proof locks on guns
when they aren't in use.
