Title: What the heck do you do with a ton of gun locks??
Post by: Guest on June 25, 2005, 11:13:33 AM
US Sportsmans Alliance just donated us some gun locks, 2,200 lbs. worth.

We're not even sure how many are there..at least 5,000. Maybe more? I have no idea...

This is very cool, but we're a bit overwhelmed. If anyone in Michigan has any need at all for a gun lock, let me know. We can probably fix you up.

We might use them in conjunction with a media campaign or something..

but..dang. That's a whole lot of gun locks..

Take'em around to gun stores and at gunshows offer them to any dealers there.  It cuts down on their overhead, particularly when selling used guns.

I suggested that! Smiley

Good idea, Art..they're sitting at my favorite gun dealers place right now.  But I dunno if we can give them away to a business.

I think the most viable suggestions so far have been to donate them to various sports clubs and possibly do a media campaign where we offer them to a media outlet (TV station or such) to give away.

A ton of gun locks..whew.

Melt them down and turn them into a sculpture of a little bitty woman holding a large attempted rapist for the police.

Christmas stocking stuffers
Easter egg hunt prize
Christmas tree ornaments

Here's an idea!? Use them for the next charity gun give-a-ways.Lock up the to-be-raffled guns,pull all the extra keys(& the correct ones),mix 'em up,& hand them out.If the key fits they win the gun.W/2.200lbs of locks that makes alot of keys/contestants.Afterwords you could give a few kids a project & have them re-match the keys w/the correct locks.

Barbara-

Please check your PM at THR  :evil grin:

Art makes a good point, some jurisdictions do require these.

 If a gun dealer is in need, a workable solution if monies were not exchanged is to exchange for ammo, eyes, ears for your Kid's day events. Even sodas, hot dogs or hamburgers is a good deal. I would not have a problem if a box of gun locks were exchanged for .22lr so a kid could learn on either.  I mean a used .22lr or two , even off paper goes a long way for a kid to learn and an adult to teach with.
