Los Angeles County weighing free gun lock distribution program 

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:11:52 GMT

Los Angeles County officials are proposing a plan to allow doctors and nurses at County-operated hospitals and medical campuses to give out free gun locks. The proposal is part of the county's harm reduction strategy to prevent gun violence, according to a release from Supervisor Janice Hahn. More than 60 percent of gun owners in America don’t lock their firearms and 56 percent keep them loaded, according to data obtained by the county from the Pew Research Center. “Gun locks can save lives, especially in households with children,” Supervisor Hahn said in a press release. “Some studies have found that people are more likely to use gun locks if they are given to them by their doctor or in a medical center to take home and I think it is a concept we should explore for our own County hospitals.”  Burbank painting business pays almost $500K to employees who worked overtime, DOL says A motion authored by Supervisor Hahn and fellow Supervisor Hilda Solis was passed unanimously...

It’s as if there are prizes for those who can quote the bard faster and more often than the other.City Lights Theater Company’s production of Ken Ludwig’s “The Game’s Afoot; Or Holmes for the Holidays,” in which a party at the actor’s castle becomes its own murder mystery, holds its own in the comic genre, delving into three distinct subtexts. Murder, mystery and madcap mayhem are all brought forth with shimmering glee within director Mark Anderson Phillips’ purposeful staging.Ludwig’s script meanders too much inside a first act which establishes the sometimes predictable rigor of a tighter and funnier Act 2. Within Phillips’ direction of a cast not alway...
