Just how well do you know your guns?

Let’s cut through the misinformation. Because smart gun owners make responsible decisions, and responsible decisions save lives.

Let’s keep gun safety honest.

FACT

Always assume that a firearm is capable of firing and handle it accordingly.

IT’S IMPORTANT

Gun safety doesn’t stop at the range. It’s important to assess and update your home safety measures.

MYTH

It’s enough for just the gun owner to know the basics of gun safety.

Involving your family in gun safety discussions creates a shared understanding and ensures everyone knows how to respond in case of an emergency. Talk, teach, and preach gun safety within your household.

FACT

Americans are not as divided as it may seem about guns and gun ownership. Most are in support of responsible gun ownership.

MYTH

Accidental discharges can’t happen to experienced shooters.

Accidental discharges can happen to anyone, regardless of experience. Complacency leads to mistakes, even among the most seasoned shooters. Stay vigilant, follow safety protocols, and store guns responsibly.

IT’S IMPORTANT

Commit to gun safety by regularly reviewing safe gun storage practices with your family members.

IT’S IMPORTANT

Teach children about gun safety and ensure they cannot access firearms while unsupervised.

MYTH

Keeping guns hidden is enough to keep them away from children.

Children are curious! Simply hiding guns doesn’t guarantee their safety. (Who among us as kids didn’t disobey our parents on occasion?) Make sure no one can get to your gun without your permission.

IT’S IMPORTANT

Store guns unloaded and locked away, with ammunition stored separately.

LET’S DISPEL THE MYTHS

Gun safety is only necessary when the gun is loaded.

Treat every firearm as if it’s loaded. That will reinforce safe handling habits. And help you avoid a potentially deadly accidental discharge.
