Gun Storage Check Week

---

The Firearm Industry Trade Association, will honor National Suicide Prevention Month by running its national awareness campaign, Gun Storage Check Week, September 1-7. Gun Storage Check Week reminds firearm owners to “Make Sure It’s Secure” by reviewing their firearm storage practices.

Gun Storage Check Week’s safety resources highlight many options to store firearms securely so that guns are off limits to unauthorized persons. Secure gun storage devices include:

➢ cable locks — often available free of charge, including through NSSF’s Project ChildSafe® program

➢ lock boxes — storage solutions for guns kept for home security and in vehicles

➢ lockable gun cases — for security and portability

➢ full-size gun cabinets and safes — for owners with multiple firearms to protect, including against fire and theft.

➢ Digital devices linked to apps that warn owners when safes or firearms are tampered with or jostled.

Organizations, companies, law enforcement, and individuals can help increase the visibility of Gun Storage Check Week by using promotional materials available at GunStorageCheck.org. NSSF established Gun Storage Check Week as a national awareness campaign this past June when it received widespread support by industry, firearm-owner organizations, suicide prevention groups and Project ChildSafe law enforcement partners.
