**Firearm Storage Guidelines Highlighted by Alexandria Police**

The Alexandria Police Department in Alexandria, Louisiana, is emphasizing the importance of safely storing firearms using storage cases. These cases are available in various sizes and are designed to securely lock up firearms, helping to prevent access by unauthorized individuals, particularly young people.

While most storage cases can be locked, it is important for gun owners to note that locks are often sold separately. The police department urges all firearm owners, whether experienced or new, to understand and implement safe storage practices. This initiative is aimed at enhancing safety within homes and the broader community.

For more tips and information on firearm safety, residents are encouraged to stay informed.
