Mental Healthcare - N/A, N/A, us
Hold My GunsHold My Guns is a program that connects responsible firearm owners with private, off-site storage options, through our national network of partners, during times of mental illness or personal crises. Our goal is to prevent suicide and violence by facilitating a place to store firearms while gun owners or their loved ones receive care. To be human is to go through ups-and-downs in life. We believe that times of hardship should be met with an outpouring of compassion and camaraderie, not fear-mongering and automatic confiscation of constitutional rights. The Hold My Guns service is a voluntary, proactive, self-governance, non-legislative alternative to Red Flag Laws, which allows gun owners to take a common-sense break from having firearms in the home, before a personal situation escalates to a public one. It is an option that can be recommended to gun owners and their families by caring first responders, medical practitioners, and anyone who is concerned about a gun owner or their family's well-being. Utilizing existing storage available in partnering gun shops and FFLs, Hold My Guns is a low-cost, easily-scalable solution. The firearms owner retains property rights during storage and then completes a background check upon pick-up to ensure there are no outstanding warrants, Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs), Protection from Abuse Orders (PFAs), etc., that would prevent the individual from having possession rights to the firearm. As recommended to us by the ATF, this protocol follows the same guidelines for consignment.In addition, to Hold My Guns, the umbrella nonprofit organization will align with our storage partners to offer educational programs and campaigns to communities. These programs and campaigns will emphasize suicide prevention, gun safety courses with a mental health component, reducing incidents of gun negligence, and educating first responders.
