With 22.4 million children under the age of 5 in the United States, how many more reasons does every parent who owns fi****ms need to make sure their guns are SECURE at all times?

“Wherever you think you may have hidden that weapon, if it’s loaded and it doesn’t have a lock on it that the child can’t defeat, then potentially they could gain access to it." -Charlotte Mecklenburg PD Maj. Bret Balamucki, after a 3 year old boy found an unsecured gun in his home and shot himself to death this week.

A 3-year-old in Charlotte last week could not have prevented a 5-year-old from finding a loaded gun in their parent's car and accidentally shooting his brother to death.

Every gun-owning parent can make sure this never happens again by one simple action: SECURING their fi****ms at home and on the road.

A few recent shootings around the country and their causes help underscore some very wise, tactical, life-saving and injury preventing advice from US founding father Ben Franklin:

“Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.” 🤔

In response to a nationwide trend in gun-related crime, the Oklahoma City Police Department began tracking guns reported stolen from vehicles last summer.

From June to December 2022, of 364 guns reported stolen, 137 were stolen from locked vehicles and 227 from unlocked vehicles, with some turning up later after being used in crimes. With half of 2023 over, gun thefts for the year are trending higher, according to OKCPD.

Fi****ms are stolen from vehicles most frequently in South Carolina, Texas, Georgia, and in Tennessee, where four cities, Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga and Jackson, each reported over 1,000 guns stolen from cars every year since 2020.

Three quick and easy ways good guys with guns can help prevent bad guys from getting guns:

✅ Remove fi****ms from your vehicle if you are not in it.
✅ If you need to leave them in a vehicle, store them in a locked box or safe secured to the vehicle that is not visible.
✅ Lock your vehicle.
