Keep your loved ones safe this Thanksgiving. Practice safe and secure gun storage.    Keeping guns stored, unloaded, and locked prevents unauthorized users, like children, from getting access to and then getting injured by firearms in their homes. https://lnkd.in/eW6dX63N 

Most Americans support safe gun storage.    Still, more than half of gun owners don't practice safe storage.     Responsible gun ownership includes storing your firearms and ammunition safely and securely when not in use.  https://lnkd.in/eW6dX63N 

Did you know... Whether you own guns or you’ve never seen one, you can still help stop kids from getting hurt by them.    You play a pivotal role in preventing potential harm to children. Learn more from our safe and secure gun storage toolkit:  https://lnkd.in/dSAqXj8C
