In Camden County, the Board of Commissioners recently hosted a presentation on gun storage during Public Health Week. The presentation, titled BeSMART for Kids: Safe Storage Saves Lives, aimed to educate both gun owners and non-gun owners about the importance of having conversations about safe storage practices.
Commissioner Virginia Betteridge, who serves as the liaison to the Department of Health and Human Services, emphasized the importance of safe gun storage as a crucial aspect of responsible gun ownership. She stressed that knowing how to have these conversations is vital, even for those who do not own guns themselves. This is because children may come into contact with firearms in the homes of friends or family members who do own them. By starting the conversation in Camden County, the hope is to raise awareness about the importance of safe gun storage practices and prevent accidents.
The timing of the presentation during Public Health Week was intentional, as it provided a platform to promote the importance of safe gun storage in the context of overall community health. By addressing this issue head-on and encouraging open dialogue about safe storage practices, the Board of Commissioners in Camden County hopes to contribute to a safer environment for everyone.
