A Graphic Novel
Finding a Home for Your Guns
VISION developed this graphic novel with veterans, caregivers, health care providers, and firearm retailers and instructors. Our goal is to raise awareness about the option of temporarily storing firearms outside the home and encourage veterans to consider storing their firearms with a trusted firearm retailer. It also provides information and resources for getting help during times of distress. Click to view an electronic copy.
Together, we can save lives.
TAP works because of the collaboration of gun shop owners (FFLs), firearm instructors, community groups, veterans, and firearm owners. The Armory Project community welcomes everyone who wants to help prevent firearm suicide and promote safe storage.
