Firing Back: Media Ignores Dangers of Trigger Locks

While most of the time we agree that trigger locks are a good thing, especially if you have children at home, we have noticed a new trend where law enforcement has begun a campaign to push the use of gunlocks. The media has picked up on this, but only highlights the worst cases of children accessing guns – such as in a WECT.com story:

“The Cumberland County Sheriff’s office is trying to start a major gun lock campaign.”

What about those cases where an intruder was stopped and the lives of the home owner saved because someone acted quickly with a firearm? Why are these stories never brought up in the mainstream media?
