This blog is part of our "Quick Read" series.

Worried about gun security when you have children in the home, it’s crucial to regularly check that your firearm remains securely stored. Here’s how often and why you should check your safety device.

1. Routine Security Checks

Make it a habit to check your firearm’s security at least once a week. Ensure that your biometric safety device, like B.O.S. Lock, is functioning properly.

2. Inspect the Safety Device’s Locking Mechanism

Regularly test the safety device to ensure it’s working as intended, preventing unauthorized access.

3. Check for Wear and Tear

If your safety device shows signs of damage, it could compromise the security of your firearm. Inspect it regularly and replace any damaged parts immediately.

4. Keep the Device Out of Reach

Make sure the safety device itself is stored in a place where children cannot easily access it.

5. Educate Your Children

Gun safety education is just as important as secure storage. Regularly talk to your children about the dangers of firearms, even if they cannot access them.

Stay vigilant, stay responsible, and always prioritize safety.
