Rights come with responsibilities at Gander Mountain

Firearm safety is taken seriously at outdoor retailer Gander Mountain where the company is giving away 50,000 trigger locks in a unique promotion.



The trigger lock giveaway is a significant commitment, considering the devices retail for $9.99, but the cost of goods could be more than offset by an increase in traffic ahead of the fall hunting season. The trigger lock giveaway begins this Friday September 17 and runs for three days to coincide with what the company is calling its biggest hunting sale of the year.



To receive a trigger lock, customers must take the Gander Mountain responsibility pledge and commit to securing their firearms. The company says it is, “committed to the mandate of responsible firearms ownership, and the importance of guarding against firearms getting into the hands of the underage, untrained and unauthorized. We believe that with rights comes responsibility, so we’re encouraging individuals to take this pledge to secure their firearms.
