Philadelphia, PA – The Philadelphia Sheriff’s Office is offering free gun locks to residents as part of a continuing effort to promote firearm safety and reduce gun-related incidents across the city.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, residents can pick up a free gun lock at their headquarters on the 5th floor of 100 South Broad Street or call 215-686-3572 for more information. The program emphasizes responsible gun ownership by encouraging residents to securely store firearms, particularly in homes with children or vulnerable individuals.
The initiative, titled “Got a Gun – Get a Lock,” is part of the department’s broader violence prevention campaign, focusing on community safety through education and accessibility. Officials describe the locks as “one simple, life-saving solution” that can prevent accidental shootings and unauthorized firearm access.
