Learning Gun Safety Could Save Your Kids’ Lives

On today’s episode of Hear Me Out… safety on. 

July sees the most accidental shootings involving children of any month on the calendar — but there’s not really a month where these tragedies don’t happen. 

So put aside your feelings on gun control for a moment and consider: how, in the world we live in right now, can we protect children from their own curiosity? 

Our guest, author Yehuda Remer, argues that teaching kids what guns can do — and how they can keep themselves safe — is the best solution.
