Safer firearm storage: By practicing responsible storage, such as gun safes and gun locks, we can collectively contribute to reducing the incidence of firearm-related tragedies and make our homes and streets safer for everyone. This year the Chapter 225 of the Saint Paul Legislative Code was updated to reduce unsafe firearm storage. To receive a free gun lock or more information on this issue, please email [email protected].
