Bexar County initiates a new public campaign named “Bexar Responsibly,” aimed at combating the rising incidence of gun violence. This initiative comes in response to tragic events, including a recent case where a two-year-old sustained a self-inflicted gunshot wound after allegedly accessing a weapon left unsecured in the home. The campaign seeks to enhance awareness about safe gun storage and effective communication with children regarding firearms.
Throughout June, which is recognized as National Gun Violence Awareness Month, the campaign will utilize social media, videos, and flyers to disseminate vital information. Residents can expect downloadable resources to help educate their communities on gun safety practices. Bexar County officials emphasize that the goal is to prevent avoidable tragedies, and they plan to collaborate with local organizations and possibly host workshops in the future.
