Built-in Safety
If you have a gun in your house, you want to take steps to be sure it is out of the reach of your children's hands. One tip to implementing a gun safety strategy at home is to avoid using cabinets and other storage containers that are small enough for children to pick up and move. Some good choices for weapon storage products would be a cabinet that is built into the wall, a safe that is installed rather than freestanding, or a box or case that is too heavy and big to lift and carry. Any option you choose should be locked securely, and if the lock has a key, be sure to put it somewhere your children can't find it. Some parents store the key outside of the house or else carry it with them. Other gun owners opt for a combination lock, digital keypad or push button lock that their children won't be able to access. No matter what method works best for you, always remember to store the gun without ammunition, just in case anyone does figure out how to get into the case. Then you can rest assured that your child gun safety plan is on the mark.
