The 4-H Shooting Sports community is deeply committed to safety. Responsible firearm ownership means not only practicing safety ourselves, but also passing down a strong heritage of responsibility and awareness to future generations. Safety is not optional—it is the foundation of responsible gun ownership.

Project ChildSafe is a program the National Shooting Sports Foundation that promotes responsible gun ownership by providing free gun locks and safety education to help prevent firearm accidents, especially involving children.
