Organize a Special Day for Family Safety

Family safety is a great concern nowadays. Although having a
firearm properly and safely stored is very good for your family
safety, there are some that lack the basic rules of safety and
storage. In order to educate communities, dealers are holding
Family Safety Days at their gun shops. Remember that the main
objective for this event is education ment to preserve family
safety in the community, not shooting. However, if there are
demands you can sponsor a shooting session afterwards.

Pick a Saturday or a Sunday for you Family Safety Day. You can
spread the word out by giving an event notice at the local news
papers and by making flyers. The flyers don't need to be
artistically elaborated; just write there a simple announcement:
"Family Safety Day at Bang-Bang Gun Shop". At the event, offer
lectures and instructions on firearm safety and try focusing on
children. Only children accompanied by parents or an adult are
allowed to attend. To guarantee your Family Safety Day success,
try to arrange some local law officers to present the safety
instructions. They have a very positive impact on children. That
is because children watch very often cop movies and in their
eyes those people appear like common day heroes. Keep you
information about family safety very simple and basic and always
repeat the fact that children should never be left alone with a
gun. You could make something like "10 family safety rules" and
this could be the first rule.

You can purchase a banner with "Family Safety Day" to hang in
front of your gun shop. It looks good and can be a great
publicity for the event. If your budget permits, you can have
items with "Family Safety Day" to give away. Most major
manufacturers have T-shirts or hats as giveaways and they can
send you those goods.

At the end of the "Family Safety Day" event, you will begin to
realize that you will not be just a firearm salesman, but the
main source of gun safety education of your community.
