Guns are in approximately half of all U.S. households, so they're a very real danger to kids, whether you own one or not. Even if no one in your family owns a gun, chances are that someone you know does. Children can come in contact with a gun at a neighbor's house, when playing with friends, or under other circumstances outside their home. NCSC gun safety materials present vital information to help you talk to children about firearms rules to help insure that these rules are followed to help protect children from injury and death.
