What safety steps can I take before purchasing a gun?

Firearm Safety Guidelines For Parents

Before you purchase a gun, you may wish to check with local police for advice on safe storage of guns as well as gun locks. Once you store your guns, be sure only you, the parents, know the location of the gun storage. It's also a wise idea to lock and store firearms and bullets in separate locations. Both these locations, then, should remain hidden from kids. Make sure your children cannot get access to firearm and/or ammunition storage keys. When handling or cleaning a gun, do so away from your kids. Never leave it unattended, even for a moment.
