Hold My Guns® is a liberty-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that connects gun owners with Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) across the United States to provide voluntary firearms storage during times of crisis or personal need (such as during deployment or a residential move).
Founded by gun owners, Hold My Guns® is a non-legislative solution to help prevent suicide, theft, instances of stolen firearms used in crimes, and negligent shootings. Partnering gun shops make a difference in their communities by utilizing their firearms storage space to help save lives, protect property, and preserve rights.
Ways HMG is already making a difference:

Our national network now includes a total of nine Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) across eight states: Pennsylvania, Washington, Wyoming, Georgia, Kansas, Massachusetts, Missouri, and Arizona. Link: Hold My Guns Storage Partner Map Personal Safety Plan:

Use (DGU). Having a plan not only saves lives but also helps to preserve rights. The HMG Safety
Plan was required as homework for 7,000+ A Girl and A Gun Members and showcased on Active

Suicide Prevention Gatekeepers through Hold My Guns-sponsored training. The nationally
recognized accredited course educates on warning clues and respectful referral of individuals in
crisis toward appropriate professional help. Students included Active Self Protection instructors,
Community Awareness:
Outreach alone has helped to save lives, as individuals have self-reported that hearing our
message and knowing our program is an option has brought encouragement and confidence to
work through their personal matters. Elevating and increasing protective factors, connecting
people to resources, and training are facets of our purposeful approach. We appeared on
numerous firearms community podcasts and participated in public speaking engagements
including the NSSF/Department of Veterans Affairs Firearm Industry Suicide Prevention
Roundtable, Montgomery County (Pennsylvania) Veterans Crisis Response Team Training, and
Centuries Against Suicide (Quantico, Virginia). Our community-based message was amplified in
