(Photo: Sun-Sentinel)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Broward Sheriff&#8217;s Office taught a group of youngsters in Cooper City, Florida, how to safely handle a firearm this past Tuesday, leaving some to question whether it&#8217;s enough to prevent accidental shootings.<\/p>\n<p>Gene Nardi, the training deputy for the department&#8217;s second annual gun safety presentation, discussed with his class the proper way to hold, carry and handoff a firearm.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You have to hold the barrel face down,&#8221; he told the group of about 30 students, ranging in ages from 8 to 30 years old, according to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sun-sentinel.com\/news\/broward\/cooper-city\/fl-youngster-gun-safety-20140806,0,3939115.story\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"florida-sheriffs-teach-children-gun-safety-everytown-reacts\" title=\"Florida Sheriffs teach children gun safety, Everytown reacts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> The Sun-Sentinel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The overall purpose of the class is to encourage parents and children to discuss gun safety.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The interest in firearms with children comes at a young age,&#8221; Nardi said, noting that just because your house may be a gun-free zone, your neighbor&#8217;s probably isn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have to heighten the awareness for parents and children,&#8221; Nardi explained. &#8220;And if there are guns in the home, how to maintain them safely and appropriately within the state law.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yet, for Everytown for Gun Safety, billionaire business magnate Michael Bloomberg&#8217;s pro-gun control organization, when it comes to children and guns, the emphasis should be on reminding parents to lock up their firearms.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;More than two million American children live in homes with unsecured guns \u2013 1.7 million of those are in homes with guns that are both loaded and unlocked,&#8221; said Everytown in a statement obtained by GunsAmerica.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We believe the impetus should not be solely on the child to prevent unintentional shootings. Our children\u2019s lives are on the line and its up to all of us \u2013 gun owners and non-gun owners alike to do our part to keep curious children safe from guns. If more gun owners keep their guns unloaded and locked, fewer children will be killed,&#8221; it continued.<\/p>\n<p>In an ideal world it would be best to do both, remind parents to keep their firearms secured and teach children how to safely and responsibly handle and shoot a firearm, but if there was only one course of action to take one could argue that it&#8217;s ultimately best to teach children what to do if they encounter a firearm knowing that not every setting or environment a child will encounter will be like the home they grew up in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida Sheriffs took the time to teach children how to safely and responsible handle a firearm on Tuesday, leaving some to question whether this is the best course of action.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":23136,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,216],"tags":[132],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-23135","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-s-h-blannelberry","9":"tag-buzz"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Florida Sheriffs teach children gun safety, Everytown reacts<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Florida Sheriffs took the time to teach children how to safely and responsible handle a firearm on Tuesday.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/florida-sheriffs-teach-children-gun-safety-everytown-reacts\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Florida Sheriffs teach children gun safety, Everytown reacts\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Florida Sheriffs took the time to teach children how to safely and responsible handle a firearm on Tuesday, leaving some to question whether this is the best course of action.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/florida-sheriffs-teach-children-gun-safety-everytown-reacts\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-08-08T18:09:27+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-17T21:32:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/gunsafety.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
