Georgia Stay SAFE

Unfortunately, 90% of fatal firearm incidents involving children occur in the home. Medical organizations, public health agencies, gun owners’ associations, and public safety personnel all support safe firearm storage practices in homes with children and youth. Studies show that proper gun storage is associated with significant reductions in the risk of unintentional injuries and suicides among children and youth.

Each year during the first week of summer, we work collaboratively to reduce firearm injuries in the pediatric population and beyond in our state by promoting firearm storage and safety through community outreach and professional education. This summer, the Georgia Stay SAFE Coalition is excited to announce the launch of the Georgia Stays SAFE campaign.
