EAST WINDSOR: Township offers free gun locks

   EAST WINDSOR — The township is sponsoring a Gun Safety Program that is distributing free gun locks to any resident.
   The program will run through the end of March, a township release said.
   ”This is a pro-active initiative, geared to promote and provide improved gun safety. These locks if properly used by lawful gun owners can help prevent accidental deaths or injuries in the home, as well as deaths and injuries caused by the intentional misuse of guns,” said Mayor Janice Mironov. The gun locks are made available to the township at no cost, through Project ChildSafe. Project ChildSafe is the nation’s largest firearms safety program, and is sponsored by the National Shooting Sports Foundation.
”The use of gun locks is a no-brainer, which keeps guns out of the hands of children and helps prevent unnecessary tragedies,” the mayor said. “We hope that programs such as this will remind and educate lawful gun owners about their important responsibility to handle firearms safely and to store them in a secure manner.”
Township residents can obtain free safety locks at the township police/court facility located at 80 One Mile Road, by contacting Detective Brian Gorski at 609-448-5678, ext. 236.
