Gun Storage Check Week
2024-09-01 - 2024-09-07
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.

Core Rules

Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction; Treat every firearm as if it were loaded; Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire; Always know your target and what lies beyond it; and securely store firearms when not in use.

The Cowlitz Public Shooting Range will be hosting a kid’s day on Saturday, June 29th – 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
All kids between ages 6 to 17 are welcome to come learn very basic firearm safety and handling. Kids will be able to shoot air rifles and older kids and those who do well on the air rifles will be welcome to move to the range and shoot a few rounds with the .22 long rifle.
We will also serve a hotdog lunch.
The event is free – no charge, but is limited to 30 kids, so we are requesting pre-registration and a $10 fully refundable deposit.
We ask you mail checks to:
