Owning a GunPeople own guns for several reasons-for hunting, for target practice or other shooting sports, and/or for self defense. But no matter why you own a gun, gun ownership is a serious and full-time responsibility. The decision to own a gun should be made carefully and with an understanding of how the decision could affect your own well-being and that of your family and community.
Statistics clearly show that your own gun is much more likely to injure or kill you or a family member or friend than an intruder. Should you decide to become a gun owner, protect yourself and those you love. As many as half of gun deaths and injuries and much gun theft can be prevented by practicing safe gun ownership and storage. |
