Editor’s Note: We are always looking for ways to inform parents of programs that will help them raise their children. Well we found one it is called “Special Agent Bobby Bureau”. We will be joining him to give you tips for kids of all ages. The best way to tell you about this agent is to let him tell you himself.

The Kids’ Page is designed for children and their parents to learn more about the FBI through age-appropriate games, tips, stories and inter actives. We also introduce you to our working dogs and show how FBI special agents and analysts investigate cases. First, can you help Special Agent Bobby Bureau get in disguise for his undercover assignment? He’s depending on you. You have to visit the sight to sign up as a special agent. Today’s Tip: Gun Safety.

We would like to know what you think? dan@youngchronicle.com

 

 

Did you know that some people have to carry guns when they work? Special Agents must carry a gun when they are on duty. Security guards do, too. Who else can you think of who has to carry a gun to work?

Some people have guns for sport shooting, while others collect old guns as a hobby.

No matter why people have guns or why they carry them to work, each one of them must have special training to know how to handle them safely. Some people go to classes to learn gun safety; some learn it from their parents. I want to teach you what to do if you see a gun.

 

 

What should you do when you see a gun?

 

DO NOT PICK UP THE GUN.
DO NOT EVEN TOUCH THE GUN.

 

Remember, you must have special training to know that the gun is safe and empty.

 

 

If something like this happens to you — tell an adult right away. Tell your mom, dad, teacher, or neighbor. Guns should be locked up after they have been used.

GUNS ARE DANGEROUS. THEY ARE NOT MEANT TO BE TOUCHED BY SOMEONE WITHOUT PROPER TRAINING.
