The storage of firearms in a home with children should:

  1. Be in an unlocked drawer for easy access

  2. Not be a concern if the children are taught not to touch firearms

  3. Include using gun safes or lock boxes

  4. Be handled by hiding the firearms in locations children cannot reach

The correct answer is: Include using gun safes or lock boxes

Storing firearms in an unlocked drawer (A) may provide easy access for unauthorized individuals, including children, to handle the firearms. This can increase the risk of accidents and injuries. Teaching children not to touch firearms (B) is important, but it should not be the only safety measure in place. It is important to physically secure firearms in a gun safe or lock box (C) to prevent access to them. Hiding firearms in locations children cannot reach (D) may seem like a temporary solution, but it is not a secure option as children can still find ways to access them.
