DURHAM
Duke University Health Systems pediatric clinics plan to talk to parents about the safety of guns in their families and safeguards in places that their children frequent.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reports that the program is part of a joint effort by Durham County and Duke.
The American Pediatric Association, which supports limiting childrens' access to guns, estimates that more than 168,000 children across North Carolina live in residences with loaded guns. The agency also reports more than 82,000 children are in homes with loaded, unlocked guns.
Martie Schulte, a chief range safety officer for the National Rifle Association, said asking about neighbors' gun practices is intrusive and puts responsibility in the wrong hands.
