Lincoln Police say they have run out of handgun lockboxes that were being given away at the downtown station. Sergeant Chris Vollmer says the free SnapSafe single handgun lockboxes were given out on a first come, first serve basis and went quickly.
He says many residents were turned away on Friday. “The responsible storing of firearms keeps deadly weapons out of the hands of children and others who shouldn’t have access and reduces the chances of theft. It means a safer Lincoln,” LPD said in a Facebook post.
LPD says they will notify the public when more lockboxes are available.
