Safe storage is more than gun locks, it is understanding firearm safety and having conversations with our youth the same way we have conversations about not sticking a fork in an electrical outlet and not playing in traffic. we have those conversations with our kids at an early age and they understand it and they refrain from these activities because the message was delivered to them by people they trust. We simply cannot remain silent about firearms safety. Safe storage is not infringing on Second Amendment Rights, quite the opposite, it is insuring that firearms don't fall into the hand of those who; one don't fully understand how to safely handle them, and two anyone who seeks to do harm to another with them. Ease of access to firearms by responsible forearms owners is possible with options such as StopBox or similar devices with quick release locking systems. We must do a better job of educating our youth about the danger of unsafe handling and storage of firearms if we are to see a reduction of deaths.

Just send the flyer out. It is so easy and keeps everyone safer. Enough waiting around.

Common sense. If we can stop one kid from getting access to a gun at home it is worth it. Please do this.

This is meaningful action—not just talk— we need to take action to prevent gun violence in our schools and community.

The terrifying events at Carrboro High School on 4/14/26 were closer than I ever want to come again to gun violence. I will never forget the thought of my beloved child, running through the forest, running for their life. The fact that no one was hurt does not make that trauma and that fear, which these kids carry with them every day, any less real. Anything we can do in our community to reduce the risk that our children will experience gun violence would be a step in the right direction. Thank you

This is a no-brainer. Of course we should talk about safe gun storage.

CHCCS leadership: as a parent of 2 children in the CHCCS district, I respectfully demand a more proactive and public stand to promote and provide helpful info on safe and secure storage of firearms among families in the district.

Sharing safe gun storage information with families is an important component of gun violence prevention. CHCCS should act with haste to do so..
