Children are especially vulnerable for serious injury or death around guns. The most effective way to keep our kids safe and prevent an unintentional gun injury is to not have guns in the house or any place where children may be present. However, if this is not possible, then a responsible owner of firearms should ensure that the firearms are inaccessible to children by:

• Storing guns unloaded and locked;
• Storing ammunition in a separate location, also in a secure locked area;
• Hiding the keys to the gun and ammunition storage.

For instance, if a child is injured or killed while at friend’s home by a gun that is not properly stored or locked, the parents of the injured child may seek damages against the homeowners for failing to exercise reasonable care in preventing a child from tampering with the firearm. A West Palm Beach Child Injury Lawyer will advise the parents of the injured child of his or her rights.
