June is Gun Violence Awareness Month. If you keep a gun in your home, hiding it isn’t enough. Kids are curious, and studies show that they usually know where their family keeps a gun. All guns in your home should be locked and unloaded, with ammunition locked separately. Make sure children and teens can’t access the keys or combinations to lock boxes or gun safes.
