New Partnership: Chevalier Advertising & TACRIG!

Oregon-Based Marketing Agency to Lead Digital Strategy, Content and Growth Initiatives for Modular Carry System Brand

SHERWOOD, OR. — September 2026 — Chevalier Advertising, a full-service marketing agency specializing in the hunting, shooting, tactical and outdoor industries, has been named Agency of Record for TACRIG, a manufacturer of highly modular concealed and open carry systems.

The partnership brings together TACRIG’s innovative approach to firearm carry with Chevalier Advertising’s industry-specific marketing expertise. As part of the initial engagement, Chevalier will lead efforts to enhance and optimize the TACRIG website with a focus on improving the user experience, strengthening the brand’s digital presence, developing compelling content and creating a more effective path from product discovery to purchase.

TACRIG’s modular system is designed around interchangeable firearm shells and mounting platforms, allowing users to configure their carry setup for different applications while maintaining the same core system. TACRIG shells are custom ordered and precision molded for individual firearms and are designed to accommodate optics, suppressor height sights and threaded barrels. The company offers both inside-the-waistband (IWB) and outside-the-waistband (OWB) configurations, as well as bino and chest harnesses.

“TACRIG has built something very different in the holster market, and we believe the opportunity is to do a better job communicating that difference to the consumer,” said Tim Silva, President of TACRIG. “Chevalier understands our industry, understands our customer and, just as importantly, understands how to turn a great product into a great brand experience. We’re excited to have them helping us take TACRIG to the next level.”

The initial phase of the relationship will center on the TACRIG ecommerce experience, including website enhancements, content development, product presentation and conversion-focused improvements. As the partnership develops, Chevalier’s role will expand to include public relations, media planning and buying, social media management and additional marketing initiatives designed to increase TACRIG’s brand awareness and sales.

“TACRIG has a compelling story and a product platform that deserves greater visibility in the market,” said Greg Chevalier, President of Chevalier Advertising. “Our job is to make sure consumers understand what makes TACRIG different, why the modular system matters and how it can fit into the way they actually carry. We’re looking forward to building that story across the website, content, media and public relations while helping TACRIG grow the business.”

TACRIG’s FLEX system is built around a tool-free modular design that allows users to switch between carry configurations and firearm shells without purchasing an entirely new holster system. The company uses U.S.-made Boltaron for its shells and precision molds each shell based on 3D scans of individual firearms.

The TACRIG partnership expands Chevalier Advertising’s portfolio of brands within the shooting and tactical marketplace. The agency specializes in marketing, ecommerce, content, public relations, paid media and other growth initiatives for companies serving the outdoor, hunting, shooting and law enforcement industries.

Winchester Contributes Over $500,000 to Ducks Unlimited Conservation for a Continent Campaign

Winchester Contributes Over $500,000 to Ducks Unlimited Conservation for a Continent Campaign

CLAYTON, MO (September 10, 2026) —Winchester announces that it contributed more than $500,000 over the past seven years to the historic Ducks Unlimited Conservation for a Continent Campaign. The campaign generated an unprecedented $4.06 billion for continental conservation and stands as the most ambitious conservation campaign ever undertaken on behalf of North America’s wetlands and waterfowl.
Winchester serves as the Official Ammunition of Ducks Unlimited. Over the last 30 years, Winchester has maintained a vital partnership with DU, providing critical funding and support for wetlands conservation that helps ensure the future of waterfowl and their habitat. Every box of Winchester waterfowl ammunition proudly showcases the DU logo and promotes its mission
“The work that Ducks Unlimited does for wetlands conservation has a tremendous impact on habitat that directly benefits waterfowl and other wildlife,” said Jason Gilbertson, Senior Director of Marketing for Winchester Ammunition. “The Conservation for a Continent Campaign is a significant achievement, and Winchester is honored to be recognized as a major supporter.”
Launched in 2019, the Conservation for a Continent campaign set a goal to secure $3 billion in support of DU’s mission, a target that supporters ultimately surpassed. Building on the foundation of 15 million acres conserved in North America at the time of the campaign’s launch, the effort ultimately helped DU surpass 20 million acres of wetlands and associated habitat conserved since 1937, expanding DU’s conservation legacy to an extraordinary scale.
The $4.06 billion is being invested in landscape-level conservation across North America to safeguard breeding grounds, migration corridors, and wintering habitats that waterfowl and wildlife depend on.

Serial No. 1 Set Goes to Auction for GOA

Henry_Made_in_America_email_header

Henry Repeating Arms Donates Serial No. 1 of All Three America’s 250th Anniversary Rifles to Benefit Gun Owners of America

America’s 250th Anniversary Rifles

All three models plus 5,400 rounds of ammunition sell as a single lot on GunBroker September 6 through 20, with 100% of proceeds funding the organization’s education and litigation


RICE LAKE, Wis., September 9, 2026 — Henry Repeating Arms

has donated serial number 1 of all three models in its America’s 250th Anniversary Tribute Edition collection to benefit Gun Owners of America (GOA). The donation is made through the company’s charitable program, Guns For Great Causes, and 100% of the winning bid goes to Gun Owners Foundation, the GOA nonprofit that funds and litigates the organization’s court cases. The three rifles, along with 5,400 rounds of commemorative ammunition donated by The Kinetic Group, sell as a single lot on GunBroker.com (item #1202022622).

Bidding opens at $3,999 and closes Sunday, September 20 at 8:00 PM CT. These have never been offered before as a complete set at any price.

The lot includes the H001TL-250 rifle in .22 S/L/LR, the H001Y-250 Youth Model in .22 S/L/LR, and the H010BG-250 rifle in .45-70 Gov’t. Each carries serial number 1, making the set the first example of every model in the collection.

The ammunition from The Kinetic Group includes two cases of Federal Henry Birthday Boy .45-70 Gov’t, 400 rounds in total, and two cases of 250th Anniversary Edition Champion .22 LR, 5,000 rounds in total.

The collection was introduced in 2026 to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence. All three models share a waving American flag applied in full-color red, white, and blue Cerakote, Fancy-grade American walnut hand-selected for grain and figure, a polished nickel buttplate, and a 250 anniversary logo engraved and silver-filled into the corner of the buttstock.

“We build firearms because of a right that people have had to defend in federal court, over and over, to keep,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “Gun Owners of America does that work. We held serial number 1 of this entire collection until the right cause came along, and this is it.”

Gun Owners of America is a grassroots organization representing more than two million members and activists. In August 2026, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas ruled in a case brought by GOA and Gun Owners Foundation that key National Firearms Act registration requirements are unconstitutional as applied to items Congress recently reduced to a $0 tax, and blocked the ATF from enforcing them against the plaintiffs, their members, and their customers. Cases like that take years, and they take money. This auction helps fund the next one.

The three rifles are new and unfired in original factory packaging and will not be sold separately. As with any firearm transaction, delivery is made through the winning bidder’s licensed federal firearms dealer, and the buyer is responsible for confirming legality in their jurisdiction.

Additional auction details are available at https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1202022622.

Your African Safari Starts Before You Reach Safari Camp

Your African Safari Starts Before You Reach Safari Camp

KEMPTON PARK, South Africa (Sept. 9, 2026) — Travelers can spend months—sometimes years—planning an African safari. They research destinations, choose safari operators, study wildlife, carefully select their gear, and count down the days until they finally leave for Africa.

Yet one important part of the journey is often overlooked: what happens after the plane lands.
After a long international flight, even a connecting flight before the long-haul leg, arriving in South Africa should be exciting. But without proper planning, navigating an unfamiliar airport, collecting luggage and equipment, arranging transportation, and coordinating the next leg of the journey can quickly become stressful.

Whether traveling to Africa for a hunting safari, a photographic safari, a wildlife adventure, or simply the experience of a lifetime, planning the arrival and departure can be every bit as important as planning the safari itself.

For years, Afton Safari Lodge has welcomed international safari travelers to South Africa, offering accommodations, hospitality, and travel services designed to make the transition from international travel to a safari as seamless as possible.

“An African safari should be an experience you enjoy from the moment you arrive,” said Richard Lendrum owner of Afton Safari Lodge. “Our goal is to reduce the uncertainty during those first hours in Africa so our guests can relax and begin enjoying the experience they have traveled so far to have.”


Plan Beyond Safari Camp
Much of the preparation for an African safari understandably focuses on what happens once travelers reach their destination. But there are several questions that should be addressed well before departure.

Who will meet you at the airport? How will you get to your accommodations? When and where will you meet your safari operator? Will you continue by vehicle or catch another flight? What happens if your international flight is delayed?
Knowing those answers before leaving home can make the difference between a stressful arrival and an enjoyable start to the safari.

With locations in Johannesburg and Cape Town, Afton Safari Lodge offers airport meet-and-greet assistance, transfers, accommodations, meals, and other travel services for international safari guests.
Depending on their itinerary, guests should spend the night at Afton for a few reasons: to acclimate after the journey, to have spare time if there is a flight delay or lost luggage, or simply to soak up the start of your safari. The next morning, the safari operator can collect you, or you can continue to another flight.

Afton can serve as a comfortable transition point before traveling overland to your final destination.

For hunters traveling with firearms, Afton also has the most extensive experience assisting with the Southern African portion of firearm travel and the required arrival procedures. Because airline policies and government requirements can change, travelers bringing firearms should plan well in advance and confirm current requirements before departure.

Give Yourself Time to Transition
There is also something to be said for simply slowing down. After traveling thousands of miles and spending many hours aboard an aircraft, immediately starting another long flight or drive can make the first day of a long-awaited safari unnecessarily exhausting.

An overnight stay allows time to enjoy a good meal, get some sleep, reorganize luggage and equipment, and start the next morning rested and ready for the adventure ahead. Afton Safari Lodge provides that transition from international travel to the African experience.

Guests can relax, enjoy South African hospitality, and wake up ready for whatever their safari holds—whether that means tracking game through the bush, photographing elephants at a waterhole, searching for Africa’s remarkable birdlife, or simply experiencing the landscapes, wildlife, and cultures that make the continent so extraordinary.

The same philosophy applies at the end of the safari. Rather than rushing directly from the safari camp to an international departure, travelers can add extra time to their itinerary to rest and regroup before heading home.

For those traveling through Cape Town, the itinerary can also provide an opportunity to add several days before or after the safari to explore the Cape and surrounding region. Sightseeing, wildlife viewing, dining, wine country and other experiences can turn a safari into an even broader African adventure.

“Your safari isn’t only the days you spend in camp,” Lendrum added. “It’s the entire journey. We want our guests to feel that their African experience begins the moment they arrive.”

For anyone preparing for an African safari, perhaps the most important planning advice is also the simplest:
Don’t just plan the safari. Plan the journey.

Tambo International Airport, specializes in assisting international arrivals with services like meet-and-greet support, firearm permit guidance, and secure transportation, while offering a relaxed lodge atmosphere.

Athlon Optics Expands Rangecraft Velocity PRO Capabilities with Major Athlon Ballistics App Updates

Athlon Optics Expands Rangecraft Velocity PRO Capabilities with Major Athlon Ballistics App Updates

Lenexa, KS (Sept 8, 2026) – Athlon Optics continues to enhance the Rangecraft Velocity PRO Radar Chronograph experience with significant updates to the Athlon Ballistics mobile app and chronograph firmware. Designed to provide shooters with more data visibility, streamlined session management, and improved device connectivity, the latest app enhancements make it easier than ever to capture, analyze, and organize velocity data in the field.

The Rangecraft Velocity PRO Radar Chronograph already delivers accurate velocity measurements for rifles, pistols, air guns, shotguns, bows, and crossbows through advanced Doppler radar technology. Now, with expanded functionality in the Athlon Ballistics App, shooters can access more information in real time and gain deeper insights into their shooting performance.

For backcountry and long-range hunters, that expanded data set answers a question a tight group at 100 yards never fully can: how fast is a given load actually moving once it leaves the barrel? A rifle can print a tight cluster at 100 yards and still precisely impact a distant target when the velocity differs from the number on the ammo box by 50 to 100 feet per second or more, since advertised figures come from a test barrel of a specific length and don’t account for an individual rifle’s barrel length, barrel condition, or the day’s temperature. At 100 yards, that gap is invisible on paper. Stretch the same shot to 400 or 600 yards, the ranges where many backcountry elk and mule deer opportunities present themselves, and a ballistic calculator running on an assumed velocity instead of a chronographed one can be off by several inches of drop at the closer distance and well over a foot at the longer one, even from a rifle that is grouping perfectly.

That is precisely the gap the Rangecraft Velocity PRO is built to close, and where the latest Athlon Ballistics App updates add the most value. Instead of estimating, hunters can chronograph their actual load and get true muzzle velocity along with shot-to-shot consistency in the form of standard deviation and extreme spread, the exact inputs a ballistic app needs to build an accurate drop chart for the ammunition they are actually carrying into the field rather than a manufacturer’s average. With the new app enhancements, that data is easier than ever to capture and put to use during load development, well before the season opens.

One of the most notable additions is a live view feature, which allows velocity data to be displayed simultaneously on both the chronograph and a connected mobile device. This real-time display gives shooters greater flexibility when viewing shot data at the bench, on the range, or during load development sessions. Users can also enable audible velocity readouts through their smartphone, Bluetooth hearing protection, or wireless earbuds, allowing them to receive shot information without taking their eyes off the firearm or target.

The updated app also features improved connectivity for older phones, providing a more reliable connection experience between the Velocity PRO and the mobile app. User interface enhancements throughout the application create a more intuitive workflow for reviewing and managing shooting data.

For reloaders and precision shooters, the addition of session velocity graphs provides a powerful new analysis tool. Each shooting session now includes a visual line graph that displays velocity trends over time, making it easier to identify consistency, evaluate load performance, and track changes across shot strings–information that translates directly into a more reliable ballistic profile for hunters building a load ahead of an extended-range shot.

Session management has also been expanded with the ability to compare and merge multiple shooting sessions directly within the app. This feature allows users to combine related datasets into a single session for simplified record keeping and more comprehensive performance analysis.

The Athlon Ballistics App is available for iOS and Android devices and supports the Rangecraft Velocity PRO Radar Chronograph through Bluetooth. Existing users can access the latest features by updating the app through their device’s app store.

Key New App Features:

  • Displaying shot data simultaneously on the chronograph and mobile device
  • Audible velocity readouts through smartphones, Bluetooth hearing protection, and wireless earbuds
  • Enhanced device connectivity and communication reliability
  • Updated user interface for improved navigation and usability
  • Session velocity trend graphs for advanced performance analysis
  • Session merging capabilities for streamlined data management
  • Bluetooth synchronization with the Rangecraft Velocity PRO Radar Chronograph

Backyard to Backcountry: NEBO, THAW, and TRUE Power Every Outdoor Experience

Ft. Worth, TX (September 8, 2026) – From cheering on the sidelines and grilling in the backyard to venturing into the backcountry or launching at first light, outdoor living requires preparation, flexibility, and the right gear. Whether it’s warmth on a cold morning, tools to solve the unexpected, or light that lasts deep into the night, NEBO, THAW, and TRUE deliver the essentials that turn ordinary moments into lasting memories.

THAW keeps the cold at bay, TRUE ensures the right tool is always within reach, and NEBO provides the power and light needed to stay safe and connected.

Hi Mountain Seasonings Celebrates National Double Cheeseburger Day and National Cheeseburger Day with Six Gourmet Burger Seasonings


Hi Mountain Seasonings Celebrates National Double Cheeseburger Day and National Cheeseburger Day with Six Gourmet Burger Seasonings

RIVERTON, Wyo. (Sept. 8, 2026) — September brings two of America’s favorite food holidays, giving burger lovers twice the reason to fire up the grill. National Double Cheeseburger Day is celebrated on September 15, followed by National Cheeseburger Day on September 18. Hi Mountain Seasonings invites backyard grill masters to celebrate both occasions with its line of Gourmet Burger Seasonings.

While historians continue to debate who deserves credit for creating the first hamburger and cheeseburger, one thing is certain—the cheeseburger has become one of America’s most iconic comfort foods.

Some credit Louis’ Lunch in New Haven, Connecticut, with serving one of America’s first hamburgers in 1900, while others point to Lionel Sternberger, who reportedly created the cheeseburger in 1926 by placing a slice of cheese on a sizzling hamburger at his father’s California sandwich shop. Other restaurants in California, Kentucky, and Colorado have also laid claim to the invention, underscoring that the cheeseburger’s history is almost as rich as its flavor.

“The cheeseburger has earned its place as an American classic because it’s simple, satisfying and endlessly customizable,” said Hans Hummel, President of Hi Mountain Seasonings. “Whether you prefer a traditional cheeseburger, a towering double cheeseburger or your own signature creation, the seasoning is what transforms a good burger into an unforgettable one.”

Hi Mountain Seasonings makes it easy to create restaurant-quality burgers at home with six bold Gourmet Burger Seasonings:
• Chipotle Burger Seasoning – A smoky blend with just the right amount of southwestern heat.
• Buffalo Wing Burger Seasoning – Tangy, zesty flavor inspired by everyone’s favorite wings.
• Fiesta Salsa Burger Seasoning – Southwestern spices with vibrant salsa-inspired flavor.
• Garlic Pepper Burger Seasoning – A savory blend of garlic and cracked pepper for timeless appeal.
• Hickory Burger Seasoning – Rich hickory smoke flavor that delivers backyard barbecue taste.
• Zesty Western Burger Seasoning – A robust blend of western-inspired herbs and spices with a bold finish.

Whether grilling classic beef burgers or experimenting with bison, elk, venison, turkey, or plant-based patties, Hi Mountain’s Gourmet Burger Seasonings deliver the perfect finishing touch. Simply season the meat before grilling, add your favorite cheese, pile on fresh toppings, and enjoy a burger worthy of celebration.

For burger enthusiasts looking to elevate the experience even further, remember that toppings are only limited by your imagination. From crispy bacon and sautéed mushrooms to avocado, caramelized onions or jalapeños, every great burger begins with exceptional seasoning.

This September 15 and 18, gather family and friends, fire up the grill, and celebrate America’s favorite sandwich with Hi Mountain Seasonings Gourmet Burger Seasonings.

Third Circuit Allows NSSF Challenge to N.J.’s ‘Reasonable Controls’ Law

NSSF

September 8, 2026

Third Circuit Allows NSSF Challenge to N.J.’s ‘Reasonable Controls’ Law

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, applauds the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit’s decision in NSSF v. Attorney General New Jersey, holding that NSSF has standing to challenge New Jersey’s “reasonable controls” law (A1765) and reversing a lower court’s decision that it was required to abstain from ruling on the merits of NSSF’s lawsuit because the New Jersey attorney general brought an enforcement action against one of its 10,000 members.

A previous challenge to the law by NSSF was dismissed for lack of standing because the law had yet to be enforced against a member company, making the lawsuit premature. This time, a lower court held that it could not reach the merits of the case by invoking the Younger Abstention Doctrine, a legal rule that cautions federal courts from interfering with ongoing state court proceedings because the New Jersey attorney general was enforcing the law. That effectively barred NSSF from the courthouse doors for being too late. The Third Circuit rejected New Jersey’s argument.

“New Jersey’s proposed rule would create a Catch-22,” the Third Circuit decision reads. “If the association sued before the enforcement action against one of its members, it would be dismissed for lack of standing, like in NSSF I. If it sued after the enforcement action, it would be dismissed under Younger. Because NSSF, and its members, are ‘entitled to [their] own day in court,’ we reject New Jersey’s proposed rule.”

“This is a tremendous legal hurdle that has been cleared to permit our challenge to be heard in court. This law clearly violates the bipartisan Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act and is unconstitutional in many respects,” explained Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President & General Counsel. “The challenge to this law has been tortured and the previous frustrations to demonstrate that this state law attempts to circumvent federal law can now move forward. We are confident that New Jersey’s naked attempt to undermine the will of Congress and bankrupt firearm manufacturers and sellers through frivolous lawsuits will not stand legal review.”

NSSF filed an amended complaint in February 2025 against New Jersey’s anti-Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) law that is not consistent with the U.S. Constitution. NSSF filed a motion to reopen the case and for leave to file an amended complaint. The motion and amended complaint were filed after New Jersey’s attorney general brought lawsuits against several industry members, including GLOCK, Inc. The state alleged the company is responsible for the criminal misuse of firearms when criminals modify and alter well-designed and lawfully-sold GLOCK pistols by illegally obtaining, possessing and installing a machinegun conversion device (MCD) on the handgun.

NSSF previously sued to block New Jersey’s law from taking effect and initially obtained a preliminary injunction barring the state from enforcing the law against NSSF members, but that challenge was dismissed on appeal when a prior three-judge panel for the Third Circuit determined that NSSF lacked standing at the time to challenge the law because it had not yet been enforced. New Jersey’s attorney general disavowed to the appellate court that it had any intention of suing firearm manufacturers for engaging in lawful commerce or placing liability on firearm manufacturers for the criminal misconduct of third parties beyond their control. They promised to only sue for a company’s own misconduct.

That was demonstrably false.

NSSF’s amended complaint argues that New Jersey’s public nuisance law flouts the will of Congress because it is preempted by the bipartisan PLCAA. Additionally, it violates the First Amendment, Second Amendment, 14th Amendment Due Process Clause and the Commerce Clause.

Keane said, “NSSF looks forward to finally having its day in Court. Attorney General Jennifer Davenport’s lawsuits against GLOCK and SIG SAUER and other industry members under the state’s ‘reasonable control’ law are the very definition of ‘lawfare.’ The statute should be struck down as unconstitutional.”



About NSSF

NSSF is the trade association for the firearm industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearm retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers nationwide.

Still Time to Participate in Gun Storage Check Week

NSSF

September 4, 2026

There’s Still Time to Participate in Gun Storage Check Week

Washington, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, encourages firearm industry organizations and the gun-owning community to participate in Gun Storage Check Week® as it reaches the midpoint of its second semi-annual observance. Held at the beginning of National Suicide Prevention Month (Sept. 1–7), Gun Storage Check Week reminds firearm owners to take a moment and review their storage practices to “Make Sure It’s Secure®.”

“Whether you’re a range operator, manufacturer, law enforcement agency, veteran or individual gun owner, there’s still plenty of time to take part in Gun Storage Check Week and ‘Make Sure It’s Secure,’” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. “We invite you to engage with this safety message — examine your secure storage practices when your firearm is not in use and share Gun Storage Check Week resources with your community. These practices can save the life of someone in a moment of crisis, as well as prevent accidents, thefts and misuse.”

Resources for Industry Companies

Whether you’re a retailer, range or industry-related company, there are many ways to participate in Gun Storage Check Week and utilize resources available to you.

  • Share Gun Storage Check Week messaging with your community and followers. A comprehensive promotional toolkit is freely available with assets to help amplify the reach of the “Make Sure It’s Secure” message to the public. Shareable graphics, public service announcements, press release templates and more are available.
  • “Have a Brave Conversation.” NSSF’s “Have a Brave Conversation” toolkit is available for firearm retailers, shooting ranges and others to train staff and educate customers about prevention suicide. The toolkit and replenishment of its contents are free. In addition, NSSF has partnered with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has developed a separate toolkit to assist U.S. veterans.
  • Practice what you teach. As you engage customers during Gun Storage Check Week, make sure you emphasize the importance of secure storage among employees, as well. Encourage them to take a few minutes to assess their secure storage practices as well. There are tips below for how individual firearm owners can get involved in Gun Storage Check Week. Share these with your team.

Resources for Law Enforcement

As a law enforcement agency, you can share the “Make Sure It’s Secure” message with members of your community.

  • Share Gun Storage Check Week messaging with your community. Assets in the promotional toolkit are freely available to assist social media posts and announcements.
  • Organize a lock distribution event. If you partner with Project ChildSafe®, NSSF’s nationwide firearm safety education program, utilize the cable-style gun locks available to host a lock distribution event. This can be done throughout the year to encourage firearm safety. Law enforcement agencies can contact Project ChildSafe to request gun locks — this is a resource freely available.

Resources for Everyone

For everyone — any company or organization involved in the firearm industry or individual/prospective firearm owner — there are numerous ways to engage with Gun Storage Check Week.

  • Check how your firearms are stored when not in use. This is the core message of Gun Storage Check Week and can be accomplished in just a few minutes. Firearms should be secured when not in use to prevent access from children or under unauthorized individuals. Take a moment to check your safe, lock box, cable locks or other locking devices and confirm they’re functioning properly and being used as intended.
  • Ask what has changed in your household recently. Secure storage will look different across households and life stages. Are your kids getting older and more curious? Do you have roommates? As the holidays approach, will family be staying with you? Use Gun Storage Check Week to confirm your secure storage solution works for your lifestyle.
  • Know what options are available and adjust as needed. Securing firearms is one of the most effective methods of helping to reduce suicide, accidents and theft. There are a variety of secure storage options to fit any firearm, household and lifestyle. Take a moment to review your secure storage setup. If any changes are needed, adjust accordingly. Options abound in every price category, including free cable-style gun locks available through Project ChildSafe partners. Project ChildSafe has law enforcement partners in all 50 states and in five U.S. territories.
  • Remember the importance of “Time and Distance.” The September observance of Gun Storage Check Week aligns with National Suicide Prevention Month for a very important reason: More than half of all firearm fatalities are suicide deaths. Nearly three quarters of suicides among veterans involve a firearm. When a firearm is securely stored when not in use, it provides “time and distance” between a person in crisis and a lethal means. This pause allows time for immediate thoughts of suicide to pass and gives someone in crisis an opportunity to seek support. NSSF encourages everyone to remember the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, 988 is the number to call/text/chat if you or someone you know is struggling.
  • Engage with safety content, enter sweepstakes. Through Sept. 7, visitors to GunStorageCheck.org can enter a sweepstakes to win a Lodestar LNK9 Kit — a user-authorized firearm. Additional entries to win can be earned by watching any of the firearm safety or suicide prevention videos after completing the entry form.

Continue the Conversation

As Gun Storage Check Week nears its conclusion, the conversation surrounding firearm safety and secure storage is a regular routine for gun owners. These practices prevent access by unsupervised children, individuals in a moment of crisis and others who shouldn’t have access to firearms.

Established by NSSF as a national awareness campaign in 2024, Gun Storage Check Week has two annual observances: June 1–7, coinciding with National Safety Month, and Sept. 1–7, in recognition of Suicide Prevention Month. Gun Storage Check Week has reached millions of gun owners with its “Make Sure It’s Secure” message and industry outreach.

Gun Storage Check Week will return in 2027, June 1–7 and Sept. 1–7.

Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearm retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers nationwide.
