Free Gun Locks Available at Live Like Jenesis Safe Storage Event This Weekend in Fayetteville

On Saturday, November 2, 2024, the Live Like Jenesis Project Non-Profit organization is hosting a FREE Safe Gun Storage event from 1:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m.

The event will be held at Fayetteville Community Church located at 2010 Middle River Loop Road in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

Fon Dockery, President of the Live Like Jenesis Project invites everyone in the community to come out for a fun and informative day.

Fayetteville Police Chief Ken Braden and Demetria Murphy, a community activist/mental health therapist will speak.

Dockery says "we will be doing 'touch a truck' for the children with an ambulance from Cape Fear Valley Medical Center along with a fire truck and police vehicles."

The Wisdom Water Ice Slushy Truck will be on hand to serve those in attendance. There will be crafts including coloring sheets for the children.

Be sure to pick up your FREE gun lock along with FREE how-to manuals containing valuable life-saving tips for safe and effective gun storage.

While there, learn how to have the safe gun storage conversation with your children provided by the NCSAFE organization.

The main goal of the event is to learn how we can make our homes and our city a much safer place for our children to grow and be successful.

Also, you will be able to get the necessary tools to help address the mental health challenges that many of our children face. Dockery says "when it comes to our children, let us help you navigate through the safe gun storage awareness crisis and give our children in this community hope and positivity for a safe and bright future. Because make no mistake, gun violence is the real pandemic."

You may remember, in July of 2023, 8 year-old Jenesis Dockery died after being shot by an 11 year-old. To honor Jenesis, the Dockery family established a foundation with a goal to change gun safety laws, to change gun policies and to educate and inform the public on gun safety.

It's spooky season and some of North Carolina's best haunted attractions are right here in Fayetteville! There's some solid science behind the allure of safe, scary adventures. People are drawn to Halloween haunted houses and trails for a variety of psychological and social reasons. The controlled fear experienced in these attractions triggers a rush of adrenaline, endorphins, and dopamine in the brain, creating an exhilarating "fight-or-flight" response without any real danger. This biochemical surge can produce a natural high, similar to the runner's high, leaving people feeling energized and euphoric afterwards.

Haunted houses also offer a form of escapism, allowing people to immerse themselves in fantastical and thrilling scenarios far removed from everyday life. The elaborate sets, costumes, and special effects create a captivating alternate reality.

See? It's not just you loving those creepy jump scares. So, grab a pal and get spooky at some of the best haunted attractions North Carolina has to offer.
