We hear a lot about gun violence every day, and sometimes we hear a few things about gun safety, but with the idea that you "need" a gun to protect yourself, gun safety often takes a back burner to gun control.
Keeping guns out of the hands of bad guys is a challenge, but what about your own guns? If somebody comes into your house and you pull your gun on them, things might not go the way they go in television and movies. Here are a few reasons to make sure your guns are properly kept, ideally in a safe.
When someone intrudes in on you, do not pull out your firearm on them. Things can backfire and they grab the firearm from you and use it against you. The best thing is to avoid such a confrontation if you can.
Your children should not be able to access any firearms that you own. Only 18 percent of children have had their parents talk to them about firearms. This is among families that own firearms. 52 percent of parents who do not have firearms do not discuss this issue with their children. At the beginning of 2016, 77 people were shot by minors, out of this, 23 people were shot by toddlers.
In most cases, with very young children, the victim is the child themselves, but toddlers have also shot their siblings and parents. Many of these incidents end with fatalities - and there have been cases where the gun belonged to a visitor.
One of the ways you can keep your kids safe is by teaching them how to stay safe and know how to handle firearms. The best action is to ensure that your kids cannot access the forearm in the first place. But in case they do, they should know the best way to handle it to prevent accidents.
