Did you know that the Culver City Police Department offers free gun safety locks to the public, no questions asked, year-round? Taking simple steps to store firearms safely can prevent tragedy. The hallmarks of safe gun storage are:

1. Be sure to unload your firearm and store it in a locked box, cabinet, safe, or vault.

2. Secure unloaded firearms with a cable lock or trigger lock.

3. Store the key and ammunition separately from your firearm.

4. Keep firearms locked in a secure location that is only accessible to responsible adults.

5. Check your firearms regularly to ensure they are still unloaded and locked.

A gun lock, also known as a firearm lock, gun cable lock, or a gun safety lock, is a device designed to prevent unauthorized use of a gun. Gun locks and gun safety educational materials are available free of charge at the Culver City Police Department located at 4040 Duquesne Avenue.
