How careful are you when handling guns? Your child will look to you as a role model. You need to act safely.
Never point a gun at anyone, even if you know the gun is unloaded.
Get training on the correct use, storage, and maintenance of any gun you own.
Keep a trigger lock on your gun. Treat all guns as if they’re working and loaded.
Keep guns and ammunition locked in separate locations.
