(TacticalNews.com) – Children and guns are often the cause of tragic situations. Why? Because kids don’t understand the gravity of what having a gun means and the responsibility that comes with it. Many people carry guns with them or in their cars; add in children, and they could be creating a recipe for disaster.

So, how can you go about safely having a gun in the car with your kids? The answer is simple: Teach your kids about gun safety and the risks of handling a firearm. Hiding a gun from a child is only delaying the inevitable. They will find it, and when they do, the outcome could be bad if they haven’t been properly taught gun safety and responsibility.
A gun should be kept out of children’s reach at all times, especially in a vehicle. This entails keeping the gun on you, securely in a holster or locked up and unloaded.
Some gun owners are choosing to use magnets that hold their guns under the dash or on the side of a console. While this can be great, your focus is on driving to a destination and getting there safely; a child’s is not. So, unless the gun is under the dash and in front of you, don’t use this method, and certainly don’t leave the gun in your vehicle with an unattended child.
