Please join us as Deborah Grayson, a Bexley parent, and Detective Briley of the Bexley Police Department talk about gun safety and actions that can prevent child gun deaths and injuries.

The presentation will take place on Monday, May 16 at 7:00 pm in the Cassingham Theater on S. Cassingham Road. Secure firearm storage is an essential part of home safety. With more guns in more homes due to a rise in gun sales over the past two years, it’s more important than ever for parents and caregivers to know how to securely store guns to protect children.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a rise in unintentional shootings by children and gunfire on school grounds. Gun suicide among children ages 17 and under reached the highest rate in more than 20 years and firearms became the leading cause of death among children in the United States. Storing firearms securely can help prevent these tragedies and keep kids safe.
