Firearms are now the leading cause of death among children in the United States. That’s why it’s more important than ever for parents and caregivers to know how secure firearm storage works. It’s simple. To help keep your family safe and prevent tragedies, it’s crucial to secure your firearm. Whether you’re a gun owner, or you know someone who owns a firearm, there is a role for everyone in the conversation around secure gun storage. Be SMART is a framework that parents, caretakers, and community leaders can follow to help keep their communities safe. Ultimately, you can help prevent kids from accessing firearms by storing them securely, and encouraging others to do the same. Because children deserve to feel safe, no matter where they are. All attendees will be provided with firearm safety locks.
This session is offered at both 12-1PM and 6-7PM. A light meal will be provided at both sessions.
*No firearms will be present at this event.
