As we observe Mental Health Awareness Month, it’s important to recognize how secure firearm storage can save lives.
Studies show that nearly half of suicide attempts happen within 10 minutes of a person deciding to act.
Storing your firearm in a locked container creates a vital time buffer. This delay can create enough time for a crisis to pass or for someone to seek help.
If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available 24/7. You can confidentially call or text the 988 lifeline, or visit 988colorado.com for support.
