• ANSWER: No, while the lockers at Ambler are lockable, they were not designed by the manufacturer for the secure storage of firearms and were not placed in the facility with the knowledge that firearms might be stored in them. Rec center patrons who choose to carry a concealed handgun are advised that when taking part in activities that make it impossible to keep a handgun concealed - such as needing to change clothing or when in close physical contact with others - they should first properly store their handgun in their vehicle or residence.
