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- CHURCH from 48 Career Bridge Network ...will host a meeting for professional/tech nical personnel going through a career transi tion on Sunday, March 28. from 5:30-7:30 p.m at Cumming First United Methodist Church, room 19. below the sanctuary.

M.rch 21.2004- F 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, Please bring a list of companies you are interested in interviewing with as well as job openings you are aware of. We will have an uplifting message followed by a networking session. We are committed to helping job seek ers network and have 46 Industry Guides who have agreed to participate in helping people make constructive contacts in their search. For directions to the church, log onto www.career bridgenetwork.org or call (770) 887-2900. 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.
