The holidays are upon us! Many of us are gathering with loved ones, and the children have time off from school for holiday breaks. Let’s all work to keep our loved ones safe this season. We can be sure to secure our firearms and ask if others are doing the same when out visiting and celebrating. The following resources can help:
Asking Saves Kids or the ASK program that encourages and informs on why and how to ask about firearms on behalf of your children.
Information about locking your firearm from King County Public Health’s Lock It Up program.
Helpful information from Seattle Children's on firearm safety as it applies to young children and teens.
Mickey Venn Lahmann, K-12 School Administrator, Retired School Administrator, Joanna Briese, Teacher, Project Manager, and Wendy Endress are volunteers with Thurston Gun Sense, in partnership with the Alliance for Gun Responsibility, supporting efforts to distribute free firearms locking devices.
