Talking To Your Children about Guns
It is important to start a dialogue with your children about what to do if they find a gun. The following is suggested language for talking to your kids about firearms.
Guns are very serious. An accident involving a gun can hurt or even kill you or someone you know. Most adults are allowed to own a gun by law, and many have one. This means that even if there isn’t a gun in your house, you need to know what to do if you see a gun.
- If you see a gun, follow these four steps: 1. Stop. 2. Don’t touch. 3. Get away. 4. Tell an adult.
- When you follow these steps, you’re protecting yourself and helping to keep other people safe.
