Fi****ms are the number one cause of death for children and teenagers in the United States. THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE. Children are curious beings - that’s literally in their job description. They’re also notorious for making bad decisions - that’s why they require parental supervision and common sense safeguards. Keep your children and other children safe by storing guns in a manner that makes access to them impossible for children.
Pro tips from NC S.A.F.E.
1. Unload your firearm. It is best practice to always unload your firearm when not in use. Storing bullets away from your firearm is also recommended.
2. Lock it up. Always. Every time. If your gun lock uses a key, make sure you’re the only one who knows where the key is hidden. If the lock uses a combination or code, don’t use a code that an older child may be able to guess (birthday, anniversary, or the last four digits of your phone number).
3. Don’t leave it unsecured in a car.
The more you know! 💪🏻
