EAST WINDSOR TOWNSHIP
LAUNCHES GUN SAFETY PROGRAM
FREE GUN LOCK DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM

East Windsor Township Mayor Janice S. Mironov announced that East Windsor Township is sponsoring a Gun Safety Program through which gun locks will be distributed free of charge to any East Windsor resident. The program will commence March 1 and will run through the end of March.

\According to Mayor Mironov, “this is a pro-active initiative, geared to promote and provide improved gun safety. These locks if properly used by lawful gun owners can help prevent accidental deaths or injuries in the home, as well as deaths and injuries caused by the intentional misuse of guns.”

Mayor Mironov added, “the use of gun locks is a no-brainer, which keeps guns out of the hands of children and helps prevent unnecessary tragedies.” She continued, “we hope that programs such as this will remind and educate lawful gun owners about their important responsibility to handle firearms safely and to store them in a secure manner.”

Township residents can obtain free safety locks at the Township’s police building located at 80 One Mile Road, by contacting Detective Brian Gorski at 448-5678, ext. 236.

Mayor Mironov noted that the gun locks are made available to the Township at no cost, through Project ChildSafe. Project ChildSafe is the nation’s largest firearms safety program, and is sponsored by the National Shooting Sports Foundation.
