During this health project, designated Firearm Advocates will visit Colorado Firearm Community locations to promote Lethal Means Safety as a proven suicide prevention tool. Through community engagement, relationship-building, and provision of Colorado Gun Shop Project messaging and materials, Firearm Advocates will increase awareness within the Colorado Firearm Community of Lethal Means Safety principles and strategies.

Suicide attempts with a firearm are fatal over 80% of the time, while all other common methods range from 1% to 65% fatality rate. Further, over 70% of suicide attempt survivors surveyed reported having contemplated attempting suicide for less than 1 hour prior to attempting. The core message of the Colorado Gun Shop Project is that lives can be saved by limiting a suicidal individual’s access to the most lethal means during that often brief window of crisis. 		Reduced incidence of firearm injuries and fatalities. Increased collaboration with the firearm community.
