Effective January 1, 2026, Illinois gun owners are required to store their fi****ms securely. This helps prevent access by children under 18, by individuals who are prohibited from possessing a fi***rm, and by anyone who may be at risk for su***de or harming others. It is a simple step that can protect lives.
To support this effort, the DuPage County Health Department is giving away free gun safes to support safe fi***rm storage, protect our community, and help save lives.
Join us at DuPage County Sheriff’s Safety Saturday on October 3, from 9:00 am - 2:00 pm at 501 N. County Farm Rd. in Wheaton, Il.
DuPage County residents can receive one safe per household. Visit the Health Department table to pick one up. Limited supply available.
