Gun Safety

Did you know that some people have to carry guns when they work? Police Officers must carry a gun when they are on duty. Security guards do, too. Who else can you think of who has to carry a gun to work? Some people have guns for sport shooting, while others collect old guns as a hobby.

What should you do when you see a gun?

DO NOT PICK UP THE GUN.
DO NOT EVEN TOUCH THE GUN.

Remember, you must have special training to know that the gun is safe and empty.

If something like this happens to you -- tell an adult right away. Tell your mom, dad, teacher, or neighbor. Guns should be locked up after they have been used.

GUNS ARE DANGEROUS. THEY ARE NOT MEANT TO BE TOUCHED BY SOMEONE WITHOUT PROPER TRAINING.
