A friend of mine (and the owner of the aforementioned page) has figured out a way to open most trigger locks -- without damage -- and it's so simple an eleven year old can do it. Of course, if you're curious how it's done, the report is $3. (considering he's spent who knows how long doing the research and filming the demonstration videos -- that's cheap for a lawyer.)

it doesn't involve a bic does it?

I figured someone would eventually break 'em. That's why I don't believe in trigger locks. Educating your kids about gun safety will do loads more than just locking them away as forbidden fruit. Our guns were never locked when I was growing up, yet I never had any desire to get them out and play with them.

Not trying to turn this into a gun safety/control debate, but it needed some comments...

Nah, this one's a Papermate

Actually, it's a bit of wire to push back the locking dog, if I remember correctly.

it seems that a lot of people have guns, which are forbidden in Canada, where I live. It just somehow reminds me of a quote in that 70s show:" you cant gimme a gun and expect me not to shoot it."

this trick should be reported to gun lock manufacturers instead of being sold for 3 bucks to those small kids who wonder around the internet.

Never underestimate 10 years old.

Just goes to prove that nothing beats good old education, as Stephonovich said.

My guns are in a safe.

I don't even have kids in my house.

Same here, all of my guns are locked up in a vault and yes education on gun safety is very important.
