As in so many American communities over the last several years, the number of shootings and gun-related deaths in and around Milwaukee, Wisconsin have risen dramatically over the last five years. All too often these cases involve young teenagers who get easy access to guns in their homes, so law-abiding parents need to know how to safely store and secure firearms from their children.

To help fight the problem, Wisconsin's Prince Hall Masons have partnered with the city's Office of Violence Protection and is offering gun safety classes at the MW Prince Hall Masonic Temple at 1218 W. North Avenue.

According to the Spectrum News 1 website on Sunday, one of the first to sign up for the course was MW Audrian Stacy Brown, Grand Master of the MWPHGL of Wisconsin:

For Brown, the hope is that if adults take gun safety seriously, it will also benefit the youth.

“Our sole purpose is that the pre-teens will stop getting their hands on guns and shooting themselves; that’s generally an accidental death,” said Brown.

The Prince Hall Masonic Temple plans to continue promoting gun safety with another course next Saturday, July 29, from noon to 2 p.m.

It will also be hosting a free gun lock giveaway in a few weeks on Saturday, Aug. 5, from noon to 4 p.m.
