Hawaii – -(AmmoLand.com)- Hawaii has a very special culture that is different than their continental brethren in the rest of the United States.
Through the years, different views on firearms and firearm safety have proliferated. Regardless of political leanings or agreement with legislative pushes, one thing that is universal when it comes to firearms is the importance of keeping our children safe and educated on the subject. This is why the leadership from Hawaii Rifle Association with the Hawaii Youth Livestock Association has teamed up with the Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation.
Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation
The Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation is a firearm safety organization based out of Oregon that aims to educate children on not only what to do if they encounter a firearm, but also on how they function. The idea is that by educating our children we can stop tragic firearm accidents from occurring. Kids S.A.F.E. has a very simple philosophy, “ZERO firearm accidents are the only acceptable goal!” The program is apolitical and accepts all walks of life to participate. From their webpage:
Since 2015 the Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation has been a leader in the state of Oregon and the nation in regards to children’s firearm safety. We have reached 21,000 kids in Oregon, Washington, Northern California, and Arizona. We have taught them life-saving skills on what to do if they ever encounter a firearm…We teach our kids to swim because we don’t want them to drown. We use this similar approach when it comes to firearm safety. Our firearm safety program is for all kids, not just the kids with firearms in their homes. Children can come in contact almost anywhere, their education is vital. ZERO firearm accidents are the only acceptable goal!!
