Be Smart - A conversation about kids, guns and safety

Every year in the United States, nearly 300 children age 17 and under gain access to a gun and unintentionally shoot themselves or someone else, and nearly 500 more die by suicide with a gun.  Many of these deaths are entirely preventable with responsible gun storage.  Be Smart campaign works to keep our children safer by introducing five easy steps.

S - Secure guns in homes and vehicles 
M - Model Responsible Behavior 
A - Ask about unsecured guns in other homes 
R - Recognize the risks of teen suicide 
T - Tell your peers to be SMART
