Keep guns securely stored

gun safetyGun ownership has increased nationwide in recent years, there are almost 1.2 million concealed weapon-permit holders across the United States. Yet many homeowners fail to properly secure their weapons and/or don’t record their weapons’ serial number. Because of that they unknowingly contribute to a black market of basically untraceable guns.

Authorities are seeing more guns on the streets, most of these weapons taken during burglaries from residential homes. Many of these guns end up in the hands of criminals. Firearm thefts are a great concern to police since guns taken during a break-in most likely end up being involved in more crimes. Stolen guns are also a lucrative business and are easy to sell. Often burglars target homes specifically looking for firearms of all types.

Police recommend that gun owners invest in quality gun locks and store weapons in a gun safe. This is the most secure storage option available to a firearms owner. A locked safe will prevent a gun from being handled and loaded thereby making it an effective theft deterrent. Gun safes come with a wide variety of features, locking systems and price ranges.
