Keep it Safe & Secure! 

Recognizing when someone may be having thoughts of suicide, connecting them with support, and temporarily “suicide-proofing” the home environment until their crisis resolves can help keep them safe. This includes temporarily removing or restricting access to the most lethal items, such as firearms, unnecessary medications (including over-the-counter drugs), and other potentially harmful items.

Temporary, out-of-home secure gun storage is a sensible way to make a home safer. In Nevada, there are legal options for a local licensed firearm dealer, an immediate family member, or even a trusted friend to temporarily store firearms to prevent harm to oneself or others.
