Reports of stolen firearms to law enforcement agencies
Storing firearms locked up when not carrying or using them has many benefits.
- Locked up firearms can't be accessed by curious children.
- Storing firearms securely prevents them from being misused by a household member in crisis.
Another benefit of safe storage is preventing theft.
- Firearms that are stolen from private citizens often end up getting used in other crimes.
- Keeping guns locked up in your homes and vehicles is a great way to protect your investment AND keep guns out of the pipeline that fuels community violence.
