As a firearms owner, you are responsible for knowing how to properly handle your firearms in a safe manner in your home. Firearm accidents in the home can be prevented simply by making sure that firearms are kept unloaded and safely stored, with ammunition secured in a separate location and inaccessible to children. As a firearms owner, your most important responsibility is ensuring that children cannot encounter loaded firearms. In keeping a firearm in the home, whether it be for safety, hunting, or target shooting, your objective should be to have the firearm readily available to you, yet not accessible to others.
