Your car is not a gun safe 🚗❌. Gun thefts from cars are on the rise, but if you have to temporarily store a gun in your car, secure it with a locking device, place it out of sight, and be sure to keep your car locked. #KeepNCSafe

We provided 115 free gun locks to our community at today's annual giveaway! Thanks to our partners @durhamncda and to all who came out to learn more about safe gun ownership to #keepNCsafe!

Did you know? Most stolen guns are taken from parked cars. Lock your guns securely if they must be left in your car.  Make sure your vehicle is locked as well. Be sure to share this information with other gun owners, too. Learn more: ncsafe.org/safestorage/ #KeepNCSafe
