Safe firearm storage isn’t just a precaution; it’s a lifesaving measure. Lock guns, unload them, and keep ammunition separate to ensure a safe environment for family and friends.

The onus is on ADULTS to ensure children and teens don't gain access to guns. #BeSMART: Assume children and teens can find guns and store them unloaded, locked, and separate from ammunition.

Interested in being part of SAFE's national gun lock and safe distribution project? SAFE will be providing a roadmap for chapters to partner with community orgs and hospital based violence intervention programs to procure safes and locks and distribute them to pediatric/family practice clinics.

TODAY, March 11, SAFE will hold its semi-annual event at 8 PM Eastern Time/ 5 PM Pacific. Register here: zoom.us/meeting/regi...
