Gunlocks can promote Base-wide safety from self-harm.

Janis Doss, 87th Force Support Squadron Violence Prevention integrator, poses with a cable-gun lock, July 2, 2020 at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J. These locks are part of the time-base prevention method which focuses on the “means” of suicide rather than the “why”. These cable-style gun locks are just one of three types of methods stressed within TBP. The three recommended methods for safe firearm storage are in safes, locks or outside the home; also known as SLO. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Matt Porter)
