What should I teach my child if they see a gun? Teaching your child how to react if they encounter a firearm is a vital part of keeping them safe. Here’s what they need to know.
1. Stop and Do Not Touch
Children should know that they should never touch a firearm they find.
2. Leave the Area
Teach them to immediately leave the area to avoid any potential harm.
3. Tell an Adult
Let them know that it’s important to find and inform a trusted adult about the firearm.
4. Reinforce the Importance of Gun Safety
Regular conversations about gun safety are essential. Demonstrate responsible ownership by using a biometric safety device like B.O.S. Lock to store your firearm, ensuring your child understands the importance of secure storage.
Stay vigilant, stay responsible, and always prioritize safety.
