Targeting Safety: A Parent-Child Firearm Safety Adventure

About this idea

Right in Grand Rapids Michigan, there has been 4 incidents this school year of children bringing firearms to school. Rather you’re republican, democrat, pro gun or anti gun, we should ALL AGREE that minors being in unsupervised possession of a firearm is unacceptable. Smart Shooters LLC has spent the last few months developing a curriculum to walk parents and children through healthy dialogue about firearm safety. We’ve developed 2 courses to have educational conversations with children about guns. One course is instructor led and will be offered free to the community, and the other course is built to allow parents to lead the conversation on their own without an instructor. We also have created FREE guides to help parents assess when is the right time to initiate these conversations with children. Our goal is to get ahead of the media outlets that misinform children about guns, and give children safe spaces to learn about guns in an educated an safety oriented way. We also hope to create more safe spaces for children by teaching parents to be educated advocates.
