What is Be SMART?

The Be SMART campaign was launched to raise awareness that secure gun storage — storing guns unloaded, locked, and separate from ammunition — can save children's lives.

Be SMART emphasizes that it's an adult responsibility to keep kids from accessing guns, and that every adult can play a role in keeping kids and communities safer. The Upper Valley chapter brings this message to families across New Hampshire and Vermont.
