  5. TRUTH:No matter what you personally believe about guns and gun ownership...  the following rules are just a good idea: • Lock up all of your guns or have a method to render them harmless. • Store all firearms out of children's reach and in a locked cabinet or drawer. Carry the keys or lock combinationWITH YOU whenever you leave. Do not share combinations with other family members. Do not leave extra keys in the house. • Keep GUNS unloaded with ammunition locked in a separate place. Never leave a bullet in a stored gun. • Always keep the gun's safety on, even if it is unloaded. • Treat all guns and firearms, including pellet guns, as if they are loaded. • Tell children to never touch a gun. • Keep no firearms in the home if someone has a history of depression or threatens suicide. • Teach gun safety in the home. • All gun owners and children of owners should take a gun safety course. • GUN SAFES = SAFE GUNS = SAVED LIVES
