Gun Safety

If you choose to own firearms – handguns, rifles, or shotguns – you also are choosing to take on the responsibilities that come with firearm ownership. Make sure your firearms are unloaded and securely stored. Invest in trigger locks, gun cabinets with a lock, or pistol lock boxes. Lock up ammunition separately.

• Teach children from preschoolers to teenagers that guns and other weapons can hurt and kill.
• Show children how to settle arguments without resorting to words or actions that hurt.
• Consider removing guns, especially handguns, from homes with children or teens.
• Look at ways other than firearms to protect yourself. Invest in top grade locks, jamming devices for doors and windows, a dog, or a security system. Women can participate in the Women’s Self Defense Class, provided by the Upper Arlington Division of Police and LifeLong Learning and Leisure.
