Gun lock buy back

I haven't seen it in a while, but several years ago the police stations would put out ads that they were collecting unused ones and then give them out for free to people that needed/wanted them.

Short of that, you may see if your local dealer wants them. It is pretty rare these days, but some hand guns still show up without locks and they need one to leave the store. I have sort of a "take a penny" box for locks, one goes out with every gun and then people will bring back 6 or 7 when they collect their unused ones.

The locks aren't worth enough to pay for shipping, but if you keep them local they are of some use.

My private range has a box of them, with a big "FREE" sign.

Only time I've seen anyone take some was my buddy who has foster kids. He's required to lock up his guns.

I prefer trigger locks to those cheaply made gun locks that you could probably take wire cutters to. I think all of those are cheaply made in china.

You go realize that some of those gun locks can still be pulled and activate the trigger, right? Most of them are just a rubber coated piece of metal that will still pull the trigger.

I, for one, am not an advocate of trigger locks or any gun locks. The guns you keep loaded, keep away from people who will use them stupidly.
