The Saranac Lake Police Department is now providing free gun locks to any residents who would like them. The gun locks are provided by Project Childsafe at no cost to the department or local taxpayers.
Along with the gun locks, there are two brochures available. One discusses firearm responsibility in the home, including a home safety checklist, and details the risks of owning a firearm. The other brochure is labeled “Firearms and Suicide Prevention” and it informs the reader about warning signs of poor mental health, and how that correlates with gun safety.
