Firearm Safety Resources
Legal firearm ownership is protected by both the US and Kansas Constitutions. But that right also comes with some very real and serious responsibilities. The Kansas State Rifle Association takes gun safety very seriously. Gun safety and responsible firearm ownership are core parts of our mission so we’ve listed a variety of helpful resources below to help you along you regardless of whether you’re a firearm owner, a parent who wants to keep their kids safe in a world with firearms, or even if you have a friend with severe depression or suicidal thoughts and want to find resources to keep them safe.
While people own firearms for many legitimate, legal reasons, they are also a tool that can be used improperly. Many Kansans own firearms to protect themselves and their families. But it’s essential that we remember keeping our families safe doesn’t end with bringing firearms into our homes. Firearms should not be accessible to unauthorized individuals, and should never be left where they can be picked up by a child, stolen by criminals, or accessible by an at-risk person.
Here at the Kansas State Rifle Association, we believe in responsible firearm ownership and we make firearm safety resources available to help anyone looking for more information. Whether you’re thinking about buying your first gun, or your family has owned guns for generations, we hope you’ll use and share these tools to keep everyone safer!
