In PA, where this bill is from, the state police already give out free gun locks, many other local police departments and community organizations do the same

Don’t manufactures include trigger/chamber locks with the firearm upon purchase? I know they do for us up here in Canada but only because it’s legally required for safe storage laws.

    I believe that's left up to the manufacturers and state law.

    I believe that PA Law already requires handguns but not long guns to be sold with a lock, and I believe that only applies to dealers, not private sales (in most circumstances you would still need to go through a dealer to do the transfer of a handgun for a private sale, but I don't think they need to provide a lock in those circumstances)
