Every time another school shooting or mass shooting happens, I am approached by people asking, "What can I do? What can we do?"
So I wanted to take a moment to offer some actionable steps you can take in the face of this tragedy.
State:
UPDATE: Governor Pritzker has signed HB 4729, which will fund a statewide public awareness campaign to promote safe firearm storage. It's effective date is January 1, 2023. Feel free to send him a thank you!!!
