Welcome to the Own It? Respect It. Secure it.® Initiative toolkit.
This initiative, created by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, is built on the firearm industry's long-standing commitment to safety and has been developed to give industry members an ongoing platform to promote and encourage firearm safety and storage. It also serves to enhance and amplify the messages of ongoing safety and education campaigns such as Project ChildSafe, which has distributed more than 37 million free firearm safety kits to gun owners through partnerships with law enforcement agencies in all 50 states and five U.S. territories.
