Responsible firearm storage can help protect children, teens, families, and communities.
When firearms are not in use:
• Store firearms securely.
• Keep firearms inaccessible to children and unauthorized individuals.
• Use an appropriate gun lock, lockbox, or secure storage device.
• Store keys and combinations where children and unauthorized individuals cannot access them.
• Follow the firearm manufacturer’s safety and storage instructions.
• Never rely on a firearm’s mechanical safety alone.
