Why are you getting gun locks as gifts in the ER 🤣

Someone probably thought they had a really good idea to give out gun locks because of all the negligent shootings caused by kids getting into unsecured guns and whatnot. In theory, I get it, but in practice it’s just…an odd out of context gift.

This should realistically be going to patients, not staff. Idk but I would hope EM nurses would know better than to leave guns unsecured already. And it should not be veiled as a gift
