Gun Storage and Gun Storage Safety

Gun Storage Safety

One child is accidentally shot to death every day in the USA. These tragedies can be prevented with proper education and gun storage.

In 2004, a 6-year-old boy was killed when his 9-year-old sister accidentally shot him with their family's 9mm pistol. It was not locked up in proper gun storage; it was accessible to the kids -- and fatally, it was loaded.

To Play or Not To Play?

It is up to you whether you allow your children to play with toy guns. Real guns, however, are never, ever toys. Guns kill. Make sure your child understands the difference between toy guns and real guns.

Proper Gun Storage (from KidsHealth.org)

Take the ammunition out of the gun.
Lock the gun and keep it out of reach of children.
Lock the ammunition and store it apart from the gun.
Store the keys for the gun and the ammunition in a different area from where you store household keys.
Keep the keys out of reach of children.
Lock up gun-cleaning supplies, which are often poisonous.

Gun Safety in the Event of Improper Gun Storage

The National Rifle Association suggests you instruct your children on what to do if they see a gun out of proper gun storage.

Stop
Don't touch
Remove yourself from the area
Tell an adult

A child as young as three has enough finger strength to pull a trigger. Instruct your children to get as far away from the gun as they can.

Secure Gun Storage

A shoebox on the top shelf of your closet is not proper gun storage. Hiding your pistol in your sock drawer is not proper gun storage. Keeping your shotguns on a rack in the garage is not proper gun storage. The only truly secure gun storage is a locking safe.

Safes for Gun Storage

Home Security Store offers several sturdy safes large enough for gun storage.

The Fire Fyter safe with 2.5 cubic feet of storage can hold jewelry, documents, heirlooms, and your average pistol.
The Fire Fyter safe with 3 cubic feet of storage can hold larger weapons.
When it comes to gun storage for large guns and shotguns, secure them in a cabinet with a sturdy lock and a door alarm that will alert you if the cabinet is open.

Gun storage is serious business. Carelessness when it comes to gun storage can lead to injury or even death. If you choose to keep a gun in your home, follow all the proper gun storage steps to ensure that your family is safe.

Proper Ammunition Storage

admin — Wed, 27 May 2009 03:24:58 +0000

The argument of the best ammunition storage method has been going on for as many years as there are people who own firearms. While 100 percent approval for the best answer may be unobtainable, it is quite likely that you can find a large number of people who will at least agree that the largest threat to the shelf life of any type of round of ammunition is moisture -- pure and simple.

So with moisture being the number one reason why ammunition storage is so important, you are not likely to receive argument over storing ammo inside an open bucket. There's just too much risk involved with that method. But taking extreme measures may also not be wise. If you were to take an object like a bucket, seal it, and replace the air inside by pumping an inert gas into it (like nitrogen), you're not likely to receive a large return on your efforts and investment. The fact of the matter is, unless you plan on living for hundreds of years, the benefits of going to such trouble will be lost.

The best ammunition storage answer can be something as simple as a waterproof container stored in a cool and dry area. In fact, it really doesn't have to be any more difficult than that. Plastic ammo boxes are great for this, particularly ones that can close, thus protecting the contents from the elements. With so many different sizes made for specific ammunition in mind, they also have the additional benefit of being stacked, which makes them easier to store and to carry.

I had no idea the Tooth Fairy felt this way:
