Gun Storage Check Week is a national campaign of NSSF—The Firearm Industry Trade Association to encourage all gun owners to check their firearm storage practices and, if necessary, take action to “make sure it’s secure!” 🔐
September is Suicide Prevention Month
NSSF is working diligently to provide the firearm-owning community with education about preventing suicide. When guns are securely stored, you create ‘time and distance’ between a person in crisis and a lethal means. Interrupting access allows time for immediate thoughts of suicide to pass and connecting to care. During Gun Storage Check Week, take a moment to check on your firearm storage to ensure you’re preventing unwanted access. Join our efforts to ‘Make Sure It’s Secure!’
Secure storage is a good practice and a powerful way to protect loved ones, prevent theft, and keep firearms out of the wrong hands. Lockbox, safe, or offsite option, every choice you make helps us create a safer community.
Whether at home or in your car, a secure lockbox helps keep guns out of the wrong hands while still giving you quick access when you need it.
It’s a simple investment that can prevent theft, accidents, or tragedy.
There’s an option for every routine, every household, and every firearm owner. Simply find one that works for you at your local firearm retailer, or visit GunStorageCheck.org. ✅
Be part of the movement. Share the message. Save a life.
