Responsible Firearm Storage – WTTA

Responsible storage prevents unauthorized access. Each gun owner defines who is unauthorized for their home. It can mean preventing access to young children, guests, and potential thieves. It can also mean preventing access from themselves in a crisis by asking a loved one to change the safe code or by other means. Responsible storage is often carried out best by storing or staging your firearms in a safe or other locking device. Responsible storage is a big one because we know access matters. Storing firearms responsibly can prevent negative outcomes with firearms like suicide. Walk the Talk America created this resource to draw attention to realistic firearm storage.

By: Valerie Lyons Posted at 8:12 PM, Dec 12, 2023 CINCINNATI — Two Queen City entrepreneurs developed a way to put gun safety in the palm of gun owners’ hands.
