And always remember: Just as it's impossible to hide Christmas gifts somewhere in the house where the kids can't find them, it's impossible to hide a gun in the house where kids can't find it. Lock it up.
During this holiday season, safety is the greatest gift.
Store your firearms securely to protect your loved ones and ensure peace of mind.
And when visiting friends or family, ask if there are firearms in the home and whether they’re stored safely. A simple conversation can save a life.
