National Gun Safety Awareness Month begins today, marked by an event hosted by Chances and Services for Youth (CASY) in Terre Haute, Indiana, aiming to enhance community awareness about firearm safety. With Indiana being one of the states with the highest rates of child gun injuries, community partners like Cassie Pruitt emphasize the importance of proper gun storage to prevent tragic accidents involving children.
The event features local law enforcement and leaders who are distributing gun locks to families, highlighting proactive measures to secure firearms. Pruitt states, “We’re just here to pass out gun locks to families, anybody honestly who has a gun and children around it,” underscoring the critical need for preventive action throughout June. This initiative is part of a broader campaign to share essential gun safety tips; for more details, readers are encouraged to visit Safe Kids Worldwide.
