Who can benefit

knowledge?
• Anyone, of any age, can benefit from taking gun

dangerous situations have helped prevent problems
when they do occur in future situations.
• Becoming familiar with handling fire-arms,
particularly if an individual owns one or there is one
in the household.
• All the children in a 2019 study showed a
favorable safety response to guns after dangerous
situation training.

Firearm Safety Measures to Encourage
• Educating the public on gun safety and presenting them with
resources is the best way to prevent gun related deaths.
• Making sure children who live in a home where guns are
present know not to touch them and to get an adult if they see
a firearm is imperative.
• Encouraging adults to lock up their firearms will prevent
them from falling into the hands of children and teens.
• Mental health professionals could partner with gun retailers
to store guns for individuals who voluntarily wish to store them
outside the home when they are having thoughts of suicide.

General Firearm
Safety for
Individuals
• Always keep the gun pointed in a
safe direction
• Always keep your finger off The
trigger until ready to shoot
• Always keep the gun unloaded
until ready to use
• Store guns so they are not
accessible to unauthorized
persons

General Firearm
Safety Resources

Firearm safety
considerations for
professionals in the
medical field
• Another way to prevent deaths
from a firearm is by teaching
medical professionals, including
mental health professionals about
different types of firearms and how
they work.
• With a solid base of gun
knowledge, a medical professional
will be credible when discussing gun
safety with a patient. This may be
able to prevent a death by suicide or
homicide.
