Children and firearms don’t mix!

Children and guns don’t mix.  Guns require constant adult supervision and very strict rules.  Being a gun owner with children, teens and people of all ages in the family home requires elite safety protocols.  One slip, one laps in judgement, one mental distraction can start a cascading series of negative events that can destroy the lives of everyone affected by the unintentional discharge of a firearm.

Between 2015 and 2021, 1156 children accidently shot themselves.  During that same period 1156 children accidently shot someone else.  Every one of these incidents can be avoided if proper steps were taken to educate on gun safety and secure the firearm(s) where nobody other than the gun owner has access to the firearm(s).

As discussed in previous blogs there are some very simple and time-tested firearm safety practices that provide solutions for secure gun storage in homes that have children, teens or undesirable adults.  The goal of any article is to show the number of incidents which could have been avoided completely.  Rather than face this life destroying probability use knowledge and secure storage options to limit and/or avoid complete access to innocent members of your family.
