Kids under 8 often can’t tell the difference between a toy gun and a real one. Yet children age 3 and up are often strong enough to pull the trigger on a real gun. Here are some tips to protect your children from guns.

Top Safety Tips

1. The most effective way to keep kids safe from gun injuries is to have no guns in a home where children live or play.
2. Keep kids from accessing firearms by storing ammunition and firearms separately, keeping guns unloaded and locked away, and ensuring that both are safely out of reach.
3. Teach kids never to touch a gun and to immediately tell an adult if they see one.
