The resolution from the 136th General Assembly of Ohio urges residents to safely store and secure firearms to prevent unauthorized access and reduce the risk of accidental injuries, particularly among children. It emphasizes the responsibility that comes with the Second Amendment right to bear arms, highlighting that unintentional shootings are a significant public health concern that can be mitigated through proper storage practices. Recommendations include using gun safes, lock boxes, trigger locks, and storing ammunition separately to enhance safety.

Additionally, the resolution calls for increased public education and awareness regarding safe firearm storage practices. It encourages state and local agencies, as well as community organizations, to actively promote these safety measures. The resolution concludes by directing the Clerk of the House to send authenticated copies to various state officials, including the Governor and directors of relevant departments, to further disseminate the message of responsible gun ownership.
