All guns in your home should be locked and unloaded, with ammunition locked separately. Make sure children and teens can’t access the keys or combinations to lock boxes or gun safes. #gunsafety #childrensafety #firearmsafety

NEVER put a baby on a water bed, bean bag, or anything soft enough to cover the face & block air to the nose and mouth. Babies’ heads make up 25% of their total body wt. & their neck muscles are too weak to support it making them unable to reposition their head if necessary.
