What should you do to ensure the safe handling of firearms around children?

Teach them gun safety
Lock the firearms away
Both A and B
Keep the safety on

The correct answer is: Both A and B

Teaching children gun safety is an essential step in ensuring they understand the potential dangers associated with firearms. Educating them about responsible gun handling, including recognizing firearms, understanding the safety rules, and knowing how to respond if they encounter a gun, helps instill a sense of awareness and responsibility. Locking firearms away is another critical safety measure. Storing guns in a secure location, such as a gun safe, prevents unauthorized access, especially by children, reducing the risk of accidents. This practice is a fundamental part of responsible firearm ownership. Combining both educational measures and safe storage practices offers a comprehensive approach to firearm safety around children. This dual strategy reinforces a culture of safety and reduces the risk of unintentional harm.
