If in doubt,
politely ask the child's parents about their firearm ownership. Gun ownership is a right that should be enjoyed, Let's also make a safe habit too. o Be a safe gun advocate and spread the news about proper gun storage and safe handling. You don't want your child playing in homes that might have
unsafe guns laying around. If you choose to keep a gun in your home you must become fully aware about the risks and dangers of doing so. However, the owning of a firearm brings responsibility too and can be quite dangerous (or deadly even) if they are stored improperly. Experts agree that guns and ammo should also be
stored in separate places. These risks and dangers extend to not only you and your family, but any visitor or person that comes into your home. Also teach them that the best thing they can do if they see a firearm laying around is to not touch it and tell an adult immediately. Unfortunately, while many of
these firearms are purchased for safety reasons, the guns have injured a family member or visitor more often than they have stopped an intruder. Unfortunately, in many cases, it is children who are hurt, injured or end up suffering. Some surveys estimate that almost half the homes in the US have a firearm of some sort. o When
storing your firearm, make sure it is locked with a trigger lock or is stored in a safe or locked box. However, gun injuries are also found in younger children too since they have a great sense of curiosity, yet lack the wisdom to differentiate between a real gun and a toy gun.
