I bought a new pistol today and it came with a trigger lock. I was actually reading the instructions, and it had the commandments of safety listed in them. the last three were "place a gun lock on your firearm when storing it" "never place a gun lock on a loaded firearm" and this is what i thought was funny they tell you to lock your firearm and at the very last tell you this, "locking your firearm might result in your death due to slow accessibility" wow i guess that 20/20 was right a gun wouldnt help me who woulda thought. does any body need a good trigger lock i have a new unused one.
 
i guess you could always throw them at the bg if you cant get any ammo
 
LOL, I've got a pile of those things in the bottom of my safe. I just wish I could get rid of the California integrated locks I've got on a few of my more recent purchases.
 
I got a couple brand new ones too. I see no purpose for them other than to maybe appease the airlines.
 
I have several as well. Beretta gave me a cable type. At least it's different. Ruger gave me a great big padlock. That I actually make use of, but not on a gun. :D
 
i have quite a few of these actually, i got about 3 from mossberg and a ruger one. i never use any of them, I just throw them in my pile of stuff i never use. the mossberg ones are really bad looking too, bright yellow
 
here in sw fl the local sheriff has a s*it load of cable locks from "project safe child" and they work good for .... bikes, chain link gate locks, locking tool box to truck... and hundreds of other uses including.... to use as swinging type weapon, the loop gives me a nice handle to hang on to

None of the major carriers will ask you to put a locking device on a declared/checked weapon. Unloaded and locked in a hard-sided case is the typical procedure, and the cable locks allow one to open the case with the lock installed enough that the firearm could be stolen. Bottom line: They really aren't good for a defensive firearm, but I agree they fit well on most bike frames.

I know, I meant lock the firearm up, not lock the case with it, lol. I got case locks for the purpose of locking the case.
 
I leave my gun locks in the original gun box. Half the time I couldn't find one if my life depended on it. :)
 
I was walking through the courthouse one day and they had a box of the cable type ones sitting there with a sign that basically said "Free to a good home." The box was full. Looked like they couldn't even give them away.

I've got a dozen or so that came with guns I've bought over the years. Still in those little plastic sleeves they ship them in.
 
The cable types are also handy for locking your motorcycle helmet to your bike. Other than that, I haven't found a use for them.
 
Best use I have for them is to give them to my local gunshop since they are required to sell used guns with one. It breeds goodwill between the shop and myself.
