the besmartforkids.org to see if it might actually be a legitimate campaign; not simply a membership drive.

The "TOTAL GUN LOCKS" highlighted on the page- presumably people who have taken the quiz has varied. The total has been;
16190, 15988, 13900, 15871, 15128, 14945, 13898, 14913, 16110 and the latest 15898.

It appears the "TOTAL GUN LOCKS" counter is simply a random number generator: 15,000 +/- 1,500. Since there are no instructions on how/where to obtain a lock outside of an unnamed "local gun safety awareness event" I can only conclude this is another crude marketing ploy. Strange since Ms. Watts is an accomplished career as a communications executive.

If anyone is interested in getting a free gun lock, no strings attached, this site will guide you to a local source. http://www.projectchildsafe.org/safety/find-a-safety-kit
