Don't do it! It might come back to haunt you. JMO

Ha Ha, that funny right there.....What good is a locked gun. The NRA will give those out for free. Just my collection alone, they will need a bigger box.

Any VET who submits to this quackery, does not deserve to have a gun. I hope I get the form in the mail

Yeah, this fishing expedition ain't transparent - LMAO.

If you have to give personal information, it isn't Free.

Yes, I suppose if you have very young children you need to keep guns under lock and key. I would not tell the VA a thing. What would be ideal to me if I had vey young kids is to have gun in locked box right next to the bed so I could get to it pretty fast. Kids will get to your guns if there is any way possible. I used to take out my old man's pistol and sneak out at night and blast things. I was older but dumber. You need to make it kid proof until they are older. A gun that is under lock and key is not much good at 2am when someone is trying to get through your window. However, a child three years old is too young to have any ability to get hold of a loaded gun. If gun is not loaded what good is it? These are questions you need to think about. If no young children in the house then to hell with gunlocks. You need that loaded gun where you can just reach and get it, and use it if you have to use it.

This maybe stupid on my part but I keep my gun loaded in a sealed pouch up-high in the closet tuck away only me and wife knows where it is.

if someone breaks in on us I would not have time to get the key and unlock my gun however if there small children in the home yes it is a good Ideal to have all the guns locked... matter of choice I suppose.

most gun accidents are from small children being in the home and if a gun is not put up where the young ones can see.. there curious and there going to get it play with it and the bad happens.

Loaded guns are dangerous if not handle properly...its not the gun but the person.

I had a friend that take his gun with him to work in case he breaks down working in the bad part of a big city /leaves it in his truck he is certified to carry it Well one day he came home from work and he was putting the gun up it fell out of his hand and when it hit the floor it shot him in the calf of his leg and the bullet shattered his leg he had to have metal plates put in and hit messed him bad.

I would not give out any information like that.

Ok, I agree this is a bad idea. It would be like if I promised to send you a check for $5.00 if you send me your credit card number, pin code and security code, along with SSN, name, DOB, and mothers maiden name. I dont think so!!! These gun locks are ridiculously cheap and can be pried off with a screwdriver if you lose the key.
