Lex Joon's goal is to expand awareness of Project ChildSafe’s “Own it? Respect it. Secure it.” safety message and promote responsible gun ownership. The message is quite simple – if you own a firearm or have one in the home, it should be safely and securely stored when not in use to help prevent access by children and other unauthorized persons.
