The correct answer is: Prevent unauthorized people from firing your gun

Trigger locks and cable locks are specifically designed to prevent unauthorized individuals from firing a firearm. These safety devices physically secure the firearm, creating a barrier that inhibits access to the trigger mechanism or prevents the action from cycling, thus ensuring that the gun cannot be used until the lock is removed by an authorized user. This is particularly important in households with children, visitors, or individuals who may not have the proper training to handle firearms safely. By preventing unauthorized access, these locks help promote responsible firearm ownership and reduce the risk of accidental discharges or misuse.
