Project ChildSafe, an expansion of Project HomeSafe, will distribute 20 million more free firearm safety kits as a part of a nationwide initiative to raise awareness about safe and responsible firearm ownership and storage. Designed to make homes with firearms safer, Project ChildSafe is funded by a $50 million grant from the U.S. Department of Justice and managed by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF).

"Project ChildSafe has become the most comprehensive firearm safety education program in America," said Doug Painter, president of the National Shooting Sports Foundation. "The combination of free gun locking devices, an in-depth safety education component and distribution efforts in all 50 states will significantly enhance public awareness of the importance of proper gun storage in the home."

Project ChildSafe will partner with governors and lieutenant governors, U.S. Attorneys, mayors and local law enforcement to encourage secure storage of firearms in homes, with the goal of helping to prevent firearm-related accidents, especially among children. The safety kits include a cable-style gun lock and a safety brochure that discusses safe handling and proper storage procedures. Last year, Project HomeSafe distributed 2.4 million such firearm safety kits at local events in 43 states.

Project ChildSafe is a component of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a gun-violence prevention initiative of the Bush Administration.
