Gun Storage Check Week
September 1 - September 7
Firearms Storage For Your Lifestyle
It’s Gun Storage Check Week—a reminder to help prevent unwanted access to your firearms. No one wants their unsecured gun to be used in an accident, a suicide or a crime. Make sure it’s secure. #gunstoragecheckweek
Securely storing firearms is one of the most effective methods of helping to reduce suicide, accidents and theft.
Periodically, all gun owners should review their firearm storage practices because people’s lives change—a child grows older and becomes more curious, a teenager or adult happens to be going through a rough patch in life. These and other situations might require a change in storage habits or devices. When circumstances warrant it, temporary offsite storage can be a solution, but remember to follow applicable firearm transfer laws.
As a gun owner, you can choose from multiple options for safely storing and protecting your firearms when they’re not in use. These are just a few of the storage options available to firearms owners. For the greatest level of security, consider using a combination of safety mechanisms and educate family members about the core rules of gun safety and handling firearms properly.
