Americans are concerned, they\u2019re taking responsibility for their own safety and the safety of their loved ones. This is where the critical link of the local retailers becomes clear. Local gun stores that have been packed recently are also where these gun buyers, many of them first-time owners, are learning about safe firearm ownership and storage in their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Community Safety Experts<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Many retailers are&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.post-gazette.com\/local\/2020\/03\/22\/guns-firearms-COVID-Pittsburgh-Pennsylvania\/stories\/202003220084\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nssf-firearm-industry-focusing-efforts-on-safety-through-pandemic\" title=\"NSSF: Firearm Industry Focusing Efforts on Safety Through Pandemic\">reporting<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;overwhelmingly, first-time buyers are crowding their gun counters. They\u2019re full of questions and they\u2019re learning that local gun store owners and employees are their community\u2019s best resource for education and guidance on safe firearm handling, secure storage and proper usage. For example, among the clamor of her packed store, Jane Havens, manager of Calamity Jane\u2019s Firearms &amp; Fine Shoes in Hudson Falls, N.Y., described the influx of customers at her store, \u201cSafety is a necessity. The sales process revolves around making sure the firearm is a good fit, and then emphasizing proper handling and storage. The more we can educate new owners, the safer everyone will be. Our customers truly appreciate that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Havens also added she is voluntarily taking additional steps to ensure customer health safety too, by limiting in-store crowd size and following CDC health guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Safe firearm education and guidance provided by staff can make all the difference. NSSF has partnered with retailers to promote greater firearm safety through our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssfrealsolutions.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nssf-firearm-industry-focusing-efforts-on-safety-through-pandemic\" title=\"NSSF: Firearm Industry Focusing Efforts on Safety Through Pandemic\"><strong>Real Solutions<sup>SM<\/sup><\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;initiative, including specific efforts like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssfrealsolutions.org\/initiative\/project-childsafe\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nssf-firearm-industry-focusing-efforts-on-safety-through-pandemic\" title=\"NSSF: Firearm Industry Focusing Efforts on Safety Through Pandemic\"><strong>Project ChildSafe<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong><\/a><strong>,<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/operationsecurestore.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nssf-firearm-industry-focusing-efforts-on-safety-through-pandemic\" title=\"NSSF: Firearm Industry Focusing Efforts on Safety Through Pandemic\"><strong>Operation Secure Store<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;and increased suicide prevention awareness. These efforts are having an undeniably significant impact. Gun owners have taken heed, practicing safe firearm handling and storage and passing on the knowledge to new owners as well. Regarding first-time customers, Havens added, \u201cOur calm, controlled presence and our focus on safety guidance helps to alleviate fear, establish confidence and restore peace of mind. We want to help make a fear-driven market safer by making it a confidence-driven market, and our new customers help make that distinction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Historic Safety Numbers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Continued safety efforts from firearm retailers and industry members are making a difference. The good news is that there is a record level of firearm ownership across the country, with more than&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/fact-tank\/2019\/10\/22\/facts-about-guns-in-united-states\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nssf-firearm-industry-focusing-efforts-on-safety-through-pandemic\" title=\"NSSF: Firearm Industry Focusing Efforts on Safety Through Pandemic\"><strong>100 million<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;law-abiding Americans now owning a gun. The more gratifying number however is that there was a record low number of unintentional firearm fatalities in the country last year. In a recently released&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/nssf-gratified-to-see-firearm-accidents-reaching-record-low-level\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nssf-firearm-industry-focusing-efforts-on-safety-through-pandemic\" title=\"NSSF: Firearm Industry Focusing Efforts on Safety Through Pandemic\">report<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;containing the latest data from the National Safety Council, the 2018 Injury Facts Report showed there were 458 unintentional firearm fatalities \u2013 the lowest number on record since the data was first tracked in 1903.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs an industry that prioritizes firearm safety, it is extremely good news to see this record decline in gun-related accidents,\u201d said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF\u2019s President and CEO. \u201cIt\u2019s gratifying to know that our industry\u2019s gun safety efforts, including our long-running Project ChildSafe firearm safety education program, are contributing to helping save lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each visit to a local gun store is an opportunity. Whether shopping for a new firearm or just picking up some targets or ammunition, it\u2019s an opportunity to befriend a fellow customer, chat about shooting or practicing at the range or even providing a small safety tip they might not have heard before. Regardless, these important ongoing safety efforts have a meaningful impact on the entire gun-owning community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Larry Keane&nbsp;<\/strong><em>is Senior Vice President of
