Firearm safety in the home discusses basic safety principles like treating every gun as loaded and keeping fingers off the trigger. It emphasizes that home environment like having children influences appropriate firearm storage, ranging from loaded but locked away where inaccessible, to unloaded and disassembled. Safety devices mentioned include gun locks that prevent loading or cycling the action, trigger locks that only prevent the trigger from being pulled, and storage boxes for secure locking of firearms.
