I picked one of these up, but the one I got is a double sided wafer lock with a very small key way, not a pin tumbler.

Am I the only one who sees some ethical issues with requesting this free locks for lock picking practice?

im guessing so as if no one picks locks then who will know what is safe. and no one that relies on a free lock to secure gun should be allowed one.

you're not the only one. I'd rather have an actual gun owner end up with one, even if it's not the best lock they can get. it's a start.

I agree with squelchtone. Why would I wan't take a gun lock away from someone else. They might have kids.

I agree, there taking things too far, just because somthing is free it doesnt mean you should take it,
Leave these to the cause they are intended for, its not fair to the people who need and deserve them for you to take them for fun,

I thought the same thing last night when I read this. Some things are just too low for one to do just to get a free lock. A junk lock at that.
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

I'm still waiting for someone to try and rationalize this by saying that since it's a government sponsored program, it is their tax dollars paying for the locks, and therefor they are entitled to them
(Joking aside, though, I'm in complete agreement -- this is about child safety of all things. Come on.)

The local cops were giving them out like candy. I think they get paid money per box they get rid of. Ask them and be honest and forward about not needing it for any valuable purpose and there is no ethical dilema.

So by saying you do not need it, it doesnt matter? Yay, I can ask for one and pay for it at the end of the year in taxes because I took it from the hands of someone who needed it!!!
Proposed project costs, 84 million $. Actual cost, 112.5 million because people who didnt need them wanted them because they paid for them  . Well, I guess in the end they do pay for them ...... Next year....
Awesome!
Even though they are JUNK.
