The North Carolina National Guard recently received 10,000 gun locks as part of the NC S.A.F.E. Campaign, aimed at enhancing firearm safety and preventing self-harm among its members. This initiative, unveiled during a press conference at the NCNG Joint Force Headquarters, reflects a focused effort to provide soldiers, airmen, and their families with tools to securely store firearms, thereby reducing the risk of accidental harm.
