North Carolina's Child Fatality Task Force recently met with lawmakers to discuss ways to enhance the state's gun storage laws. The initiative aims to revise existing laws and secure additional funding for educating the public on safe gun storage practices.
William Lassiter, the deputy secretary for the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, emphasized the importance of quick and secure gun storage, likening it to the time it takes to fasten a seatbelt or secure a child in a safety seat.
