Then in 2022, a 3-year-old boy killed himself with a gun found in his house. Someone there was charged with negligence.Thankfully, the 4-year-old is OK.The gun safety expert said if parents aren’t going to keep their guns stored away or use the free gun locks available, they need to explain to children the seriousness of the guns and how to be safe around them.
