Aspiring hero, safety advocate, and gun violence prevention champion. I’m on a mission to save lives and change lives!
Had a great brainstorming session yesterday with representatives from different GVP groups in the area on how to collaborate more and work together on legislation, volunteering, and outreach. 📣Fellow GVP community, how do you engage with other GVP groups in your area? How do you coordinate? 🧐

Did you know that cars parked at residences are the most common source of stolen guns? Each stolen firearm represents a weapon in the hands of a potential criminal, making all of us less safe.
Protect kids and communities by making sure firearms are always stored securely—in homes AND vehicles.

As you gather with family and friends this week, it's important to ask if all the firearms in the home and in vehicles are securely stored before visiting.
That means guns are stored unloaded, locked, and separate from ammunition. #BeSMART

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Domestic violence victims are at far greater risk of being killed if a firearm is in the home. Healthcare providers can ask patients about firearm access in their home; these conversations, even brief ones, can prevent harm & save lives.
