How do Americans store firearms in their home? Do they keep their
firearms unloaded and locked away as is often recommended? The
current research examines the nature of gun storage in American
homes. Little research has looked at this important policy and
public health issue and little is known about gun storage in
general. Public concern about firearms and accidental injuries and
deaths compel an examination of firearm storage and handling. Gun
storage may result from the purpose for which guns are owned or
used. Rational choice theory allows the expansion of this idea of
utility by explaining how individuals may rely on their cultural
and situational experiences to make decisions about firearms
storage. This dissertation adds to the current knowledge about
firearms by examining how cultural experiences and situational
contexts associated with gun ownership might increase the
likelihood that owners keep firearms loaded and accessible in their
homes.
