Responsible Gun Ownership

Americans enjoy the right that citizens of many other countries do not – the right to own firearms. But with that right comes an inherent responsibility. 

                      ·      It is the gun owner’s responsibility to store, operate and maintain his or her firearms safely. 

                                       ·      It is the gun owner’s responsibility to ensure that unauthorized and untrained individuals cannot gain access.                 

  ·     It’s also the gun owner’s responsibility to learn and follow all applicable laws that pertain to the purchase, possession and use of firearms in his or her jurisdiction.  Guns are neither safe nor unsafe by themselves.  

In order to keep yourself and others safe, it’s important that you go through thorough training when you become a gun owner. Understanding your role as a gun owner helps to keep you and those around you safe and can prevent unfortunate accidents involving firearms.
