Question: 1 / 50

What type of gun safety mechanism is recommended to secure a firearm in the home?

Keeping the firearm on a high shelf

Using a gun safe or lock box

Keeping the firearm on a high shelf may seem like a safe option, but it is not recommended as the firearm can still be accessible to children or individuals who should not have access to it. Hiding the firearm in a closet also does not provide a secure enough measure to prevent unauthorized access. Leaving the gun unloaded may seem like a safe option, but it does not address the issue of someone finding and loading the firearm without proper knowledge of gun safety. Therefore, the best recommendation is to use a gun safe or lock box to securely store the firearm in the home. This ensures that only authorized individuals have access to the firearm and it cannot be loaded or used without proper knowledge and permission.
