Lock up your guns and ammunition.

Households that locked both ammunition and firearms had a 78% LOWER RISK of self inflicted firearm injuries among children and teenagers. #momsdemandaction #teens #safestorage

@CurlygirlCaro I got into an argument with a woman online who was convinced her guys was "safe" because she had it hidden and her kids "didn't even know it existed" and they "knew better than to snoop around".

Like 5-6 people were telling her that kids snoop, that's what kids do, but she was SURE her kids were different.

@Eamon1916 you’re right — all kids snoop and I would bet her kids know how to get her guns. Maybe share this with her: https://besmartforkids.org/

@CurlygirlCaro but her gun IS secure because it's hidden!!!11!

She was one of those "Don't tell me how I'm supposed to parent my children!" people.

There was nothing anyone could say.

As normal, I wasn't really arguing with her but more exposing her to be an idiot to convince the people who were reading the thread but not commenting that they needed to make sure their firearms were secured.

@Eamon1916 @CurlygirlCaro
The mom of the 6 yo who shot his teacher said exactly the same thing about her gun.
@CurlygirlCaro Guns perform one purpose. - to kill. What don’t folks understand?
