Even if you think your firearms are stored safely, consider this: 33% of gun-owning parents who thought their kids couldn't access their guns had a child who said they could. Don't take a chance. Keep your guns locked, unloaded, and separate from ammo. #EndFamilyFire

About 4.6 million children live in homes with loaded, unlocked guns. Each year, thousands are injured or killed. During the holidays, merely searching for gifts or exploring a new home can turn deadly if firearms aren’t safely stored. #EndFamilyFire kansascity.com/opinion/letter…
