Tip of the Week: Gun Safety
Even if your family doesn't have a gun in the home, chances are that your child will come in contact with a gun at some time during his or her childhood. Relatives and neighbors own guns that are probably hidden, but children may find them. Children are exposed to guns early on from television, cartoons and movies, arousing their natural curiosity. The best safety measure for gun safety in the home is to avoid having one in your home. However, if you already own a gun or plan to purchase one in the future, following the guidelines below can help protect your family's health and safety.
If you own a gun:
- Always keep your gun unloaded and locked up.
- Lock and store bullets in a separate location.
- Make sure children do not have access to the gun lock keys.
If you do not own a gun:
- Talk with your children about the risk of gun injury outside the home in places where they may visit and play.
- Tell your children to stay away from guns when they are in the homes of their friends.
- Speak with the parents of your children's friends to determine whether or not they have a gun in the home.
- If they do, urge them to empty it out and lock it up.
