Summary

This study tested a program at Pennsylvania Hospital where visitors and patients who carry firearms could get free cable locks or lock boxes to store their guns safely. Researchers wanted to see if people would use these devices and how to best collect data on it. The goal is to prevent gun violence by making it easier to store firearms securely.
