Edina, Minn., Oct. 8, 2013 – The Edina Crime Prevention Fund is teaming up with the Edina Police

Through discussion and product demonstrations, attendees will learn about Minnesota laws regarding firearm
ownership, permit to carry, weapon-and-ammunition storage in your home and vehicle, and child-gun safety.
Families are encouraged to attend together, or bring elementary-aged children to learn about gun safety.
“Whether you agree with stricter gun control or not, we can all agree that gun safety should be a top
priority,” said Edina Police Chief Jeff Long.
The program will be presented by two Edina Police officers.
The classes are free and open to the public. No registration is required. Complimentary gun locks will be
