American Legion members receive a discount off MetAlert’s GunAlert device, an all-in-one firearm safety solution gun lock, as Be the One aims to reduce veteran suicides.
The American Legion’s Be the One mission aims to reduce the number of veterans and servicemembers lost to suicide by destigmatizing mental-health treatment, encouraging veterans to seek help when needed, providing free suicide prevention training, and empowering everyone to Be the One to save a life.
To support this mission, The American Legion has collaborated with MetAlert which is renowned for its leadership in gun safety, pioneering efforts in GPS wearable technology, and asset tracking and recovery systems. This includes its GunAlert® device, the world’s first all-in-one firearm safety solution gun lock with patented motion sensor and GPS theft recovery.
“We are incredibly excited about this collaboration with The American Legion and Be the One, which will provide the framework for GunAlert to be incorporated in programs centered around mitigating and reducing negative outcomes from firearms along with supporting some of their educational programs on mental health,” said MetAlert CEO Patrick Bertagna.
According to MetAlert, every two minutes a gun is stolen in the United States and approximately 132 people die every day from a firearm-related injury. So, when seconds count, GunAlert can mean the difference between life and tragedy.
“MetAlert’s commitment to saving lives and delivering technological innovations remains unwavering as we move forward to making GunAlert an integral component to nationwide comprehensive gun safety solutions,” Bertagna said.
American Legion members can receive 20% off a GunAlert purchase. And $5 from every purchase goes to support the Be the One mission. Visit mygunalert.com/.
GunAlert® is the premiere, all-in-one gun lock safety solution protecting you from firearm theft or tragedy because it goes beyond a standard gun lock. While a lock can guard against accidental discharge, it provides little theft deterrence. The lock is typically stolen with the firearm and then cut off later, often long before the gun owner realizes the firearm has been taken. GunAlert® patented motion detection alarm system is sensitive enough to alert you the second your gun is moved. The motion sensor then automatically enables location tracking which can be conveniently accessed on your smartphone to help you locate your firearm. It is important to note that information is not stored in the cloud.
