Free Gun Locks

Free gun locks are available to the public at each police district station.  The closest ones to us are MCPD District 3, 1002 Milestone Drive off Rte. 29, Silver Spring (main number 240.773.6800), and MCPD District 4, 2300 Randolph Road in Wheaton (main number 240.773.5500).

Both are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

The Montgomery County Department of Police encourages firearm owners to be responsible and conscientious when it comes to the safe handling, use, and storage of firearms.  Responsible gun ownership includes keeping firearms secure to prevent theft and prevent those persons prohibited by law from obtaining firearms.  Maryland law states that a child under 16 cannot have unsupervised access to a loaded firearm.

For new gun-owners, find information about Firearms Safety Classes from the Maryland State Police at the link below.
