Every year, hundreds of children in the US gain access to guns and injure themselves or someone else. If there are firearms in the home, keep them locked and unloaded, with ammunition locked and stored separately. Stop by the Illinois DCFS tent at the Illinois State Fair in Springfield or the Du Quoin State Fair and pick up a free gun lock if you need one. The life you save could be your child’s.
