Recent events have left many people feeling vulnerable. Responsible firearms owners want to act but are unsure how to do so.

Here are a few basic actions any firearm owner can take.

Ensure your firearms are secure in your home. Secure means rendering the firearm inaccessible to unauthorized persons. Securing your firearms is as simple as investing in a safe or lockbox.
