What can be done to prevent injuries from guns?

Safe storage of all guns and ammunition is the most practical way of preventing injuries from guns. When leaving the bush, guns should be unloaded. On arrival back in the village, all guns should be immediately locked up in a gun cabinet with a padlock. Trigger locks can also be useful. Ammunition should be locked up too.
