Encourage family, friends and neighbors to support positive measures to promote gun safety and to get involved in related community issues.
Involved citizens working together can make a difference.
Educate your children about gun safety, and talk to them about guns they may come into contact with when they visit the homes of friends and neighbors. Remember, not everyone is as conscientious about preventing accidents with guns as you may be. Gun locks are now easily available and modestly priced in comparison to the damage that can be done by a loaded gun in the hands of a child. The Lehigh Presbytery Peacemaking Program is now making it possible to distribute gun locks to gun owners within our presbytery. Just tell your pastor how many locks you need, and they will be made available to you.
