Be SMART: A Discussion on Gun Safety

Please join us for a free presentation for adults from Be SMART to promote secure firearm storage. Firearms are now the leading cause of death among children in the United States. That’s why it’s more important than ever for parents and caregivers to know how secure firearm storage works. The Be SMART campaign was launched in 2015 to promote responsible gun ownership in order to reduce child gun deaths. Whether you’re a gun owner, or you know someone who owns a gun, there is a role for everyone in the conversation. In this presentation, we'll focus on five steps (SMART) to reduce gun accidents, suicides, and thefts to help keep kids  and communities safe. Free gun locks and resources on safe storage will be available to attendees. 

This presentation will also be streamed live on our YouTube channel at: www.youtube.com/@lakeoswegopubliclibrary
