An educational video program designed especially for children in grades K-6
One of the more important lessons a child can learn is how to properly act should they encounter an unsecured firearm. Whether at their home, at school or at a friend's or relative's home, learning the right response to such encounters helps ensure that a child will have the confidence to make correct decisions and to make such decisions promptly and decisively. To assist educators in teaching children about correct behavior when encountering a firearm, the National Shooting Sports Foundation, in cooperation with the National Crime Prevention Council, offers this safety video featuring the well-known safety character, McGruff the Crime Dog®. Educators and children together can watch McGruff explain to his nephew, Scruff®, how to deal with encountering an unsecured firearm. McGruff delivers an important and compelling safety lesson in clear language and images in a video designed specifically for viewing by young children.
