Talking to Kids About Firearms: A Family Safety Conversation

Firearms in the home can be a sensitive topic, but it’s one we can’t afford to ignore as parents. I remember the first time my child asked about the locked box in our closet. It was a moment that made me pause and realize how important it is to be honest and clear about safety. We sat down together and talked about why the firearm is locked away, the rules we follow, and why curiosity can be dangerous. These conversations aren’t always easy, but they are essential for keeping our families safe and building trust. How have you approached this topic in your home?
