Parent Checklist

In Your Home:

Before you buy a gun, consider less dangerous ways to keep your family and property safe, such as burglar alarms, window locks, dogs, etc.
Don't buy a gun unless you have the necessary knowledge to use it safely.
Firearms should be stored unloaded and in a locked place.
Firearms should be locked up in a place that children cannot reach since children often have trouble telling the difference between a toy gun and a real gun.
Bullets should be locked up in a place separate from where guns are secured.
Trigger locks can be a helpful additional precaution for unloaded firearms. They must be applied to an unloaded firearm.
Some locks can be removed in as few as 6 seconds.
If you keep an unlocked gun under your pillow at night, lock it in the morning before you go to work.

Teach Your Children:

Explain to children that guns are dangerous and that they should never touch guns without your permission.
Talk to your children about the difference between the violence that they see on television or in the movies and real-life violence, where adults and children really get hurt.
Tell your children that if they find a gun anywhere they should not touch it and should leave the area and go tell an adult. If they are in school and know of other children carrying a handgun they should tell an adult.
