Right to Carry, Duty to Secure

September 4, 2024

This week Shaquille O’Neal and police departments across the country are teaming up to make sure gun owners everywhere practice firearms security and safety at home.

According to the latest available data, most Americans, including gun owners, agree that firearm security by people who lawfully own guns is reasonable and necessary.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, firearm injuries were the leading cause of death among children and teens ages 1-19 years old. According to Pew, over half of all suicides (55%) were committed with firearms, and according to Harvard’s School of Public Health, access to firearms is associated with increased suicide risk. This public service from Shaq and law enforcement will offer tips to educate gun owners.
