PROJECT CHILD SAFE COMES TO SULLIVAN’S ISLAND

The Sullivan’s Island Police Department will provide free firearm safety kits to local residents though a partnership with Project ChildSafe, the nationwide firearms safety education program. The safety kits, which include a gun lock, will be available at the Sullivan’s Island Police Department. 

Project ChildSafe, a program developed by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), will distribute millions of firearm safety kits throughout the country over the next year.  The program is funded by a U.S. Department of Justice grant, with additional funding provided by the firearms industry. 

“We encourage residents to pick up a Project ChildSafe safety kit so that they can securely store their firearm.  Each kit contains a safety curriculum and a cable-style gun lock.  The locks fit on most types of handguns, rifles and shotguns.  The goal is to prevent a child or any other unauthorized person from accessing a firearm in your home.”
