WHY OUT-OF-HOME FIREARM STORAGE MATTERS

Most firearm deaths nationally are suicides and among service members and Veterans more than 73% of suicides are by firearm. For someone at risk for suicide, storing firearms out of the home decreases suicide risk.

Many firearm owners are hesitant to seek professional help for mental health, substance use or other personal concerns out of fear that they could lose their firearm rights permanently. This fear can prevent them from getting the support they need during moments of crisis.

Voluntary, temporary out-of-home firearm storage provides a judgment-free option—giving firearm owners the space and time to seek help without facing lifelong consequences. By increasing access to secure storage locations, we help individuals and families make responsible decisions without government mandates or unnecessary restrictions.
