Gun Locks
Many states require gun locks to be handed out with every gun purchase. There are different styles of locks that work best with different types of guns. Gun locks are intended for locking unloaded guns. Many of them are designed to pass through the chamber or cylinder so you can't lock it when the gun is loaded and you can't load the gun when the lock is installed. Trigger locks are different in this way, but they are still desighed to lock an unloaded gun. Never put anything in the trigger guard of a loaded gun unless it is your funger and you intend to fire the gun.
