Safe Gun Storage Saves Lives
A few minutes of prevention
saves a lifetime of regret!
Free Gun Locks
While supplies last, Falcon Heights residents can pick up a FREE GUN LOCK at City Hall, 2077 W. Larpenteur, during regular business hours.
Each kit contains a safety curriculum and a cable-style gun lock. There is a limit of 2 per household.
The Police Department will also provide a kit with every gun permit they issue, as long as supplies last.
These kits were made available through a partnership of the St. Anthony Police and Project ChildSafe. The Program is funded by a U.S. Department of Justice grant and additional funding by the firearms industry.
