Safe gun storage at home

By Ryan Fields-Spack · Former fire captain · 20+ years as a paramedic ·

A gun that is not locked up is not a plan. I want a safe or a lock box I will actually use, and a light so I can see what I am doing.

The videos are how I talk about storing guns when kids are in the house. I am not drawing my own safe on this page. Kids do not handle firearms here.
