Gun Safety Demo and Project ChildSafe Lock giveway at Rockwall County Library

ROCKWALL, TX (Feb. 3, 2023) Last year up to 18,000 children and teens were killed or wounded by a gun in the U.S.  Safely storing and locking firearms when not in use is the best way to prevent accidents. Rockwall County Library has collaborated with Project ChildSafe and Rockwall County’s Sheriff Department to help spread awareness of this crucial issue.

On February 23, 2023, 6-8 PM, Deputy Michael Allen from the Rockwall County Sheriff’s Department will give a presentation on gun safety at Rockwall County Library.

American families can makes their homes safer by keeping their guns locked with locking devices. Unloaded firearms can also be stored in a locked cabinet, safe, firearm vault or storage case. Store and secure ammunition in a separate location. Deputy Allen will give further details and will demonstrate how to use the gunlocks.

After his presentation, participants can choose a free Project ChildSafe kit. The kits include a cable-style gun-locking device and a brochure (available in English and Spanish) that discusses safe handling and secure storage guidelines.

These safety devices meet the ASTM and California DOJ standards for cable-style gunlocks.

Project ChildSafe safety kits are limited to 2 per family. First come, first served.

Project ChildSafe has distributed 40 million firearm safety kits to gun owners since 1999. The organization delivers safety messages about firearm responsibility as well as free gun locking devices.
