The Don’t Lie for the Other Guy program, a joint effort between the National Shooting Sports Foundation and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, educates federally licensed retailers on how to detect and deter potential criminal purchases. The program, part of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Project Safe Neighborhoods, presents regional seminars, gives out Don’t Lie point-of-sale kits, and has developed a public awareness component.
