It is always an adult’s responsibility to make sure children are never in the presence of unsecured guns. Kids will be kids, so don’t assume a child will not find and touch an unsecured gun, even if they have been told not to.
Follow the Be SMART framework to help keep your child safe:
- Secure all guns in your homes and vehicles by keeping them unloaded, locked, and separate from ammunition.
- Model responsible behavior around guns.
- Ask about unsecured guns in other homes.
- Recognize the role of guns in suicide.
- Tell your peers to Be SMART.
