Talking about guns with others might not always feel comfortable, but it could save a life.
What happened with the raccoon in the liquor store?
Here's a way to start a conversation. Your family is going over to your neighbor's home for dinner for the first time. How would you ask if there are any unlocked guns in the home? Hey! Hey, we're so excited for tonight. Before we come over, though, may I ask if there are any unlocked guns in your home? Our guns are stored securely, locked in a safe that the kids can't access. Awesome. Learn how to have the conversation at agree2agree.org. Brought to you by the Ad Council.

Here's a photo so my host can see it.
Oh, my God. Where did he buy this from? It looks like a little cute Etsy find. Yeah, it does.
Deputies didn't even knock on the door. They left and an hour later came back with an actual warrant.
