Every weapon I’ve ever bought in PA (five) has come with a locking device. One Beretta, one walther, one AR-15, one AR180B, and one HK. So I’m not sure what the article is talking about.

Anyway, I have them in a box somewhere.

Because cable locks don’t magically place themselves on unused guns, but trigger locks do.

All Glock’s come with a cable lock that is to be threaded through the action of the pistol for safe storage.

Wonder why the author left that detail out of the article…

If those PA rethuglicans would pass Rendell’s 1 gun a month handgun purchase limit, this senseless tragedy never would have happened.

No one ever mentions the fact that the instructions on trigger locks are specific about NOT PUTTING THEM ON LOADED WEAPONS. If the Glock had been unloaded – trigger lock or not – the child would not have died. Putting a trigger lock on a loaded Glock seems to me to be an invitation to a negligent discharge.

KEEP THE GUNS AWAY FROM THE KIDDIES. At least until they’re old enough to properly train. It’s the best solution.

I’ve bought a few guns in my time, and all the new ones come with trigger locks. I bet that Glock came with a trigger lock.

Of course, a person who was careless in leaving the gun out where a 3 year old could reach it would never be so careless as to forget to put a trigger-lock on it.
