Law enforcement agencies recommend cable gun locks for firearms owners in Door and Kewaunee counties to reduce the risks of accidental shootings, especially among children. Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and the Wisconsin Department of Public Health show that 27 children were killed in accidental shootings between 1999 and 2014. Door County Sheriffs Department Chief Deputy Pat McCarty says the department continues to use every opportunity to provide these simple tools to firearms owners.
Free cable gun locks are available at the Door County Sheriff's Department offices on S. Duluth Avenue in Sturgeon Bay during regular business hours.
