Auburn to host Veterans Day gun lockbox giveaway this Saturday, Nov. 8

Auburn will host a free gun lockbox giveaway on Veterans Day, Nov. 8, from 10 a. m. to 2 p. m.

at Auburn City Hall. The event, led by Public Health — Seattle & King County, aims to promote responsible firearm storage and prevent accidental injuries or theft. Residents can receive free handgun lockboxes while supplies last, encouraging them to secure firearms safely at home. Community members should arrive early, as the quantity is limited.

This event reflects a broader commitment to safe gun ownership practices. Gun violence prevention remains a critical issue in the region, making such initiatives vital for community safety. For more information on the giveaway and other safety initiatives, residents can visit the city’s website.
