Long Beach is giving away 200 gun safes next week with the intent of preventing accidental gun deaths and firearm theft.
The free safes, which weigh about 10 pounds and can fit two handguns, will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 4. No registration is required.
This is the second straight year that Long Beach has held the one-day event. Last year, all safes were claimed within 15 minutes.
