Newtown-based National Shooting Sports Foundation has been awarded a $2.4 million, two year federal grant.  The Department of Justice money will go toward the Project ChildSafe Program, which encourages responsible firearm storage.  According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, since it's creation, Project ChildSafe has distributed more than 37 million free firearm safety kits.  In a written statement, the President of the organization said that these types of programs work because proper storage of firearms when not in use is the number one way to help prevent firearm accidents, misuse and theft.
