In an effort to reduce the number of accidental shootings, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office and IMPD distributed free gun locks to Hoosiers. You can still get a free gun lock at the Indianapolis Public Library or Family Safety Store in Riley Hospital.
INDIANAPOLIS — In an effort to reduce the number of accidental shootings, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office and IMPD distributed free gun locks to Hoosiers.“Sadly, the need appears greater than ever,” Marion County Sheriff’s Office Captain Mitch Gore said.The locks prevent the gun from being able to be fired. To use the gun, you have to unlock it with a key.
Gore says another way to use the lock is to run it through the barrel of the gun and back out of the slide, this way it doesn’t allow a person to chamber a round.“They work on the AR-15 platform — A really common rifle platform,” Gore said."They also work on the AK platform, so an AK-47.”One person who picked up a free gun lock was Mary Wallace. She’s been a gun owner for several years.
Wallace says kids are curious, which is why she locks her guns up and makes sure they aren’t within their reach.
