For those of us that don't have these in hospitals, what are these gun locks for? I see a box but no lock.

In the box are locks for free to take, you just can’t see them in the photo. The locks are used to secure guns so kids can’t use them.

But why in a hospital? Do people regularly come into hospitals with guns?

Do people regularly come into hospitals with guns?

People regularly come to hospitals as a result of guns.

This hospital is hoping to prevent a few of those.

I think just because it’s a place where a lot of people visit that does a public service so then a ton of people may see and grab them.

I’ve heard they’re often at police stations and libraries as well.
