Any good ideas on how to use the locks that come with new firearm purchases? I've accumulated 3 or 4 over the last couple years and they're just gathering dust.

JR

They are typically junk locks as far as quality. I throw them away.

I guess you could lock up some different firearms, like rotate in some new ones?

They go straight to the trash. No good use for them.

I haven’t found a good use for them, either.

I give them to the grandkids they like locks.

Maybe for backpack zippers or luggage?

Yep, kids love locks. Wait until they lock one of your gun cases and no idea where the key is while you're in a hurry. Now gotta run & get bolt cutters.

I have used them to lock a pistol case to the inside of my suitcase while traveling.
Didn’t want it disappearing from my suitcase after checking my bags.

Tie them on a 6’ piece of paracord and whip the snot out of someone with them. Idk

Probably have a dozen in an ammo case. Cheap, but they have to include them by law. No suggestions on how to use them for other means.

Because I usually go alone, I have one that I sometimes use to lock my more expensive rifles to the security cable on the gun racks at the shooting range while changing targets.
