The program trains children to avoid causing harm when they encounter firearms, through an easily-remembered litany:

  • Stop — to take time to remember the rest of the instructions.

  • Don't touch — A firearm that is not touched or acted upon by an outside force is highly unlikely to fire, or endanger a person.

  • Leave the area — By leaving the area the child removes himself/herself from temptation, as well as from the danger that another person might pick up the gun and negligently cause it to fire.

  • Tell an adult — An adult, if not personally trained in handling firearms, should know enough to seek professional assistance.


The NRA, which also sponsors training for adults in safe gun-handling, developed this program in response to sensational news stories about deaths and injuries of youths by negligent gunfire.
