Firearm Safety
Show: Healthy Children
Firearm ownership is hotly debated. No matter your opinion, it is imperative to keep children safe.
Be mindful of weapon-like toys and non-powder weapons. They send projectiles through the air at various speeds. Make sure players are appropriately shielded around the face and eyes, and there should be adult supervision when these are in play.
Listen as Dr. David Hill joins Melanie Cole, MS, to discuss firearm safety tips in this encore episode from January 2020.
