Never leave a gun, loaded or unloaded, unattended for any reason. Always store guns in a locked cabinet, case or drawer.
Children can become confused and imitate the characters they see on television.
Explain to your child that a gun is not a toy and can kill. Always keep ammunition in a separate location from the gun. BB guns can cause injury or death. BB guns are not toys and should only be used by an adult. Teach children never to touch a gun and to tell an adult if they find one.
