I doubt it, there are so many out there for little or no cost.  I believe you can pick one up for free at certain police departments (I know my SO offers them).

I just throw them away.

Bike lock?


Yours or someone elses, I won't tell you how to use it.

Bring them to your FFL they love getting them back.

They marginally increase the cost of the gun, pricing someone out of ownership.  The same with the sample fired casing.  Little by little, every added dollar of regulatory expense prevents someone else from owning a gun.

I use them to lock all sorts of random shit. Footlockers, chainlink fence gates, and other random things that don't justify going out and buying a masterlock but I don't want anyone having access.

I use the long cable one to lock my helmet to my motorcycle, it won't put up much of a fight but deters the grab an go types.

I think they are a waste



Do you know the history behind them?  After Columbine in the mid 90s the gun grabbers were pushing hard to have all firearms securely stored so that kids couldn't grab them and shoot up schools.  They wanted mandatory trigger lock usage on firearms.  They didn't get that but as part of a compromise new firearms are supposed to be sold with a locking device.  I can't remember if that is federal or if just some states that.  This was the back in the period where Smith & Wesson sold out to Bill Clinton.

I managed to get one on, but a blonde walked by and it busted.

My LGS has a box with locks for free.  Nobody wants them.  I've got  a couple I plan on using with some chain to lock up a few things at hunting camp but that's about it.

Considering I can cut through one with a dremel faster than I can post this on arfcom, I'd say they are completely worthless.

My state requires a lock to be included with guns and requires guns to be locked in a vehicle (unless carried), so including locks with guns probably makes it easier for FFL's.
2/3/2013 2:00:06 PM EDT
[#20]
I'm aware of the reasoning behind including them with new gun sales, but I'm trying to decide if there is any reason to keep them.

Are there any states that would require a gun lock to be sold with a used gun?  I guess I could store them in a box and ship one out with a gun if needed.

Maybe I'll just pack it into the next thing I sell on gunbroker.  I like to put a package of foam earplugs in with everything I sell anyway, so maybe that would be a bonus for the buyer, or maybe a curse since he'll have to deal with it at that point.

zero



i remember a few years back i tried selling about 5 i think on EE for just shipping only - zero takers.

I've actually used them to lock up luggage before.
2/3/2013 2:03:15 PM EDT

I use them to lock trailer hitches on my boat... They work great for that purpose.

Use them to lock the doors on .gov facilities...

My dumb ass Dept. gave them out years ago.  THEY WERE ALL KEYED THE SAME.
2/3/2013 2:13:54 PM EDT

Put them in a pillow case or tube sock. Just remember to keep that weapon locked up.
2/3/2013 2:14:33 PM EDT

Those locks and $6 will get you a fancy cup of coffee.

Yes, they are worth 15 yen each.
2/3/2013 2:20:42 PM EDT
[#32]
Yep, trailer locks.
2/3/2013 2:22:10 PM EDT
[#33]
Must not be worth much, I put two in my yard sale for .50 cents each and they didn't sell, saw some guy pick one up and laugh as he threw it back on the table.
2/3/2013 2:25:15 PM EDT
[#34]
No. I give them back to the dealer later if I get too many, always keep a few to give with loaner guns though

The cable locks?

SAVE THEM!!!

I have actually found a use for the cable locks. Use them to lock your big-screen tv's to the mount on the wall. Drill a hole in the mount if you have to, but the wall mounts on mine have plenty of extra holes to use. You will be the only person to know about it, and if "Homie de Clown" tries to steal your TV while you're away at least you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that he broke your TV trying to steal it and he didn't get away with it!

I've got a bag of them I plan on putting in the trailer, when I make a run to the scrap metal place.  Beats throwing them in the trash...by a penny or so.

I have a bunch of them and have used them once.  Used them to lock the guns that I had shipped by the movers (PCS move).

My Ruger SP101 came with a pretty nice lock.  I haven't yet, but I can use it for other things.

2/3/2013 3:05:48 PM EDT

I give them back to the Gun Store (the locks come out of their pocket....or an increase in cost to us) and they knock a little more of my purchase price.
2/3/2013 5:42:39 PM EDT
[#44]
I sell them at garage sales for .25
2/3/2013 5:44:12 PM EDT

I leave them in the case the firearm came with.

I use my Mossberg lock to keep my pitbull in his crate.

They're absolute junk.

More garbage in the landfill. Stupid law to require them with every sale.

Use them for targets.

Use them to lock up random bicycles left in public places by gang bangers and bums.

Donate to gun store in case someone actually wants one.

Fill up a tube sock with 'em. Makes a great prison-grade "persuader."
