Kids and Gun Safety
It is a gun owner’s responsibility to keep children safe around firearms. Whether you are a collector, a hunter, or an officer, you should take the proper precautions to make sure children stay safe in any area where guns are present.
Even if you have no children of your own, it is important to know about child gun safety and child gun laws. If you or someone you love has been injured in an accident involving children and guns, the San Antonio gun injury lawyers of Stouwie & Mayo can help. Contact us today at 210-999-9999.
Gun Storage Tips
- Keep your firearms locked up in a gun cabinet.
- Make sure your guns are unloaded when in storage.
- Store your ammunition in a separate area from where you store your guns.
- Make sure guns are out of sight and out of reach of children at all times.
Gun Education Tips
- Talk to kids about guns. Children are bombarded with violent media images each day and may not understand the true dangers of firearms. Explain that guns are not toys and that gun accidents can result in severe injury or death.
- Teach kids about gun safety, or enroll them in a Texas Hunter Education Safety course. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department offers these courses, and they are required for any hunter over the age of 9, even if accompanied by an adult.
- Educate yourself about Texas gun laws and national gun legislation, especially about laws specifically concerning child safety.
