We subscribe to the principles of the Health on the Net Foundation. In addition to the gun lock, information on gun safety will be included. This giveaway is a one day only event.
Statistics show seven out of ten youth suicide deaths in Maine are committed with a gun.
Our officers see the results of poor gun safety, especially in relation to children and adolescents. The give away program is being supported by the Penobscot Sheriff's Department, Maine State Police, Bangor Police Department, Van Raymond Outfitters, and CCL Security Products. It is funded in part with a grant from Eastern Maine Charities. This is the only day orders will be taken through this phone number. One gun lock per family, please.
