TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — Today begins Gun Safety Awareness Month. Chances and Services for Youth or (CASY) held an event today featuring local law enforcement officers and community leaders to spread gun safety awareness.
Cassie Pruitt, community partners liaison for Firefly, a private nonprofit that strives to empower families and communities, says there is a large number of child injuries due to improperly storing guns.
“Indiana is one of the highest rated states within the United States of gun safety in children that have injuries from guns, so today we’re just here to pass out gun locks to families anybody honestly who has a gun and children around it,” said Pruitt.
As we continue gun safety through the month of June, be sure to properly store firearms out of reach from children. For more gun safety tips, visit Safety Tips | Safe Kids Worldwide .
