Abstract
<p class="first" id="d3020598e118">Over 50,000 homicides and suicides occur each year.
An estimated half of all US households
are believed to have a firearm present, making them one of the most ubiquitous consumer
products. Our goal was to determine if the manner of storage of a firearm in a home
could potentially make a difference in the outcomes of intentional and unintentional
injuries involving a firearm; specifically addressing the use of gun safes and devices
that block/disable firearm function (trigger locks, cable locks, etc.).
