Firearms: Why kids are at risk
By Debbie Wilburn
For the Forsyth County News
Some parents think their
children aren’t at risk because
they don’t own guns. Other
parents think their kids are
safe because they do own
guns and the kids know “the
rules.” The truth is, all chil
dren are potentially at risk of
unintentional firearm injury.*
However, knowing how and
why injuries occur, and taking
action, can substantially
reduce that risk.
Nearly all childhood unin
tentional shooting deaths
occur in or around the home.
Half occur in the home of the
victim, and nearly 40 percent
occur at a friend or relative’s
house. Most of these deaths
involve guns that have been
kept loaded and accessible to
children and occur when chil
dren play loaded guns.
In one recent study of parents
of children ages 4 to 12, more
than half reported storing a
firearm loaded or unlocked in
their home. Approximately
one-third of families with
children (representing more
than 22 million children in 11
million homes) keep at least
one gun in the home.
Consider this:
• Nearly two-thirds of
firearm-owning parents with
school-age children believe
they keep their firearm safely
away from their children.
However, one study found
that when a gun was in the
home, 75 percent to 80 per-

cent of first- and second
graders knew where it was
kept.
• Few children under age 8
can reliably distinguish
between real and toy guns or
fully understand the conse
quences of their actions. Yet
children as young as age 3 are
strong enough to pull the trig
ger of many handguns.
These facts point to some
significant gaps gaps that
hundreds of children fall
through every year. In 2002,
nearly 800 children ages 14
and under were treated in
hospital emergency rooms for
unintentional firearm-related
injuries. In 2001, 72 children
died from those injuries.
Protecting your family
Other factors change, but
there’s one common denomi
nator in every unintentional
firearm injury: access to a
loaded firearm. The most
important thing parents, care
givers and gun owners can do
to protect children is reduce
their access to firearms and
safely store all guns.
Here’s what gun owners
can do:
• If you have children in
the home, any gun is a poten
tial danger to them. Seriously
consider the risks.
• Store firearms unloaded,
locked up and out of chil
dren’s reach.
• Store ammunition in a
separate, locked location.
• Use quality gun locks,
lock boxes or gun safes on
every firearm. Gun locks,

when correctly installed, pre
vent firearms from being dis
charged without the lock
being removed.
• Keep gun storage keys
and lock combinations hidden
in a separate location.
• Take a course in using,
maintaining and storing guns
safely.
Here’s what all care
givers can do:
• Talk to your children
about the potential dangers of
guns.
• Teach children never to
touch or play with a gun.
• Teach children to tell an
adult if they find a gun, or
call 9-1-1 or the local emer
gency number if no adult is
present.
• Check with neighbors,
friends or relatives or
adults in any other homes
where children visit to
ensure they follow safe stor
age practices if firearms are
in the home.
Nothing outweighs the
loss or serious injury of a
child. Storing firearms safely
and reducing their accessibil
ity are essential steps in pro
tecting our children.
