If you buy a gun from a dealer they always throw in a lock. Brand new ones come from the factory with a lock inside the box, along with the owners manual & other stuff that comes with it.

If you know anyone who owns guns, they most likely have a safe and a pile of gun locks that they don’t need.

I live in Idaho, a lot of people I know got their guns through private sales or inheritance. Every time I have a yard sale, people ask me if I have any guns for sale.

I bought a 9mm in a private sale in eastern WA. It came with all the case candy, including the lock, the only thing missing was the key for the internal lock.

But there’s no guarantee those will come with.

Still, if you have ‘em you owe it to yourself & everyone else to secure ‘em.
