Gun-lock handout Monday

The Montana Sheriff's and Peace Officer's Association will distribute free firearm locks as part of the national Project HomeSafe initiative.

Thousands of free cable locks and firearm safety educational materials will be provided to residents throughout the state.

Developed by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the nationwide Project HomeSafe program will provide firearm owners with 3 million free gunlocks this year.

Project HomeSafe is funded by a U.S. Department of Justice grant and is endorsed by the National Conference of Lieutenant Governors.
