Gun Safety
Many U.S. households have guns, but they can cause harm if not handled properly. Here are some things you can do to keep yourself and your family safe:
• Teach children that they shouldn't touch guns and that if they see a gun, to leave it alone and tell an adult.
• If your children play at another home, talk to the parents about gun safety.
• Treat every gun as if it were loaded.
• Always store guns unloaded.
• Lock guns in a rack or safe, and hide the keys or combination.
• Store ammunition away from guns and keep it locked.
• Don't keep guns in your home if someone in your family has a mental illness, severe depression, or potential for violence. (NIH)
