Free gunlocks available in Warren through Project ChildSafe

WARREN — The Trumbull County sheriff’s office has received a new shipment of gunlocks and safety information that can be picked up for free by local residents in the lobby of the sheriff’s office, 150 High Street N.W.

The locks and information are part of Project ChildSafe, a nationwide program funded by the U.S. Department of Justice whose purpose is to promote safe firearms handling and secure storage practices among firearms owners.

The goal of the program is to prevent unauthorized people, particularly children, from finding an unsecured and possibly loaded firearm in the house.

The locks and information can be picked up from 8 a.m. to noon Monday, Wednesday and Thursday until the gunlocks are gone.
