Safely lock your gun, save money and be lawful

Preventing gun violence is a key issue for Virginia. (It's also what motivated us, in part, to create SafeGunLock.) Storage laws in Virginia make it unlawful to leave your gun lying around. As the law states: “It shall be unlawful for any person to recklessly leave a loaded, unsecured firearm in such a manner as to endanger the life or limb of any child under the age of fourteen.”

With Virginia requiring gun owners to lock their guns, there are, of course different solutions. A lock box or safe can fulfill the requirement. With SafeGunLock, however, you can safely keep your gun nearby. Our patented locking system also keeps you and your loved ones safe from accidental firing.

Boost Virginia’s gun safety report card

Every locked gun in the state of Virginia potentially reduces gun death rates. The Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence gives the state of Virginia a B+ on its gun law scorecard : “In 2023, Virginia had the twenty-second lowest gun death rate among states.”

But there’s room for improvement. According to Giffords: “In an average year, 1,200 people die from gun violence in the state. That means someone dies from gun violence every 7 hours. Fifty-nine percent of those deaths are gun suicides, and 39% are gun homicides.”

The Virginia state tax credit for safe firearm storage encourages gun owners to be part of something bigger. A little boost in your tax return can also mean harm reduction for your community.

Keep your firearm away from the wrong hands

Virginia lawmakers are currently debating gun safety laws. One of them is about preventing thieves from stealing guns from cars. Everytown for Gun Safety says that Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Hampton are in the top 25 cities in the U.S. for gun thefts from cars.

SafeGunLock is one solution for deterring theft. If a thief steals your gun, it will be next to impossible to break the lock without breaking the gun.
