Children in the Home and Firearms

May 17, 2023 headline "Texas preschooler, 4, shoots ‘unsecured’ pistol at 1-year-old sibling: cops".  A second headline, "Mother charged with child abuse after second grader brought gun to Michigan elementary school".  I see such headlines four or five times a month in some form or another.

Addressing handguns as you do have trigger locks or locked gun cases for every long gun in the home.

If the handgun is not on your person, highly recommended it be stored in a Fingerprint/Full-digital Keypad if quick access is required. Samples.






Listing of Handgun Safes sold on Amazon.

When your child reaches the age of understanding I recommend you take the child to the range and go over gun safety rules and demonstrate firing the gun.  Remove the curiosity factor that all children have. The child understands what happens whenthe trigger is pulled when pointed at someone.
