What does a trigger lock do?

A trigger lock is a safety device designed specifically to enhance the safe storage and handling of firearms. By preventing the trigger from being pulled, it effectively makes it impossible for the gun to discharge. This is particularly important in households where children or unauthorized individuals may have access to firearms. Trigger locks serve as a barrier to accidental discharges, significantly reducing the risk of injury or death. It’s a vital component in promoting responsible firearm ownership by ensuring that the gun cannot be fired unless the trigger lock is removed, highlighting its role in safety rather than performance enhancements or modifications to the firearm's capabilities.
