Polk County, Florida USA

April is&nbsp;'CHILD GUN SAFETY EDUCATION MONTH' To date, In-Gauge of Polk County, Winter Haven, Florida has received 10 Polk County municipal proclamations, joined by the Highlands County Board of County Commissioners, declaring April as 'CHILD GUN SAFETY EDUCATION MONTH'. The mission of the campaign is to prevent unintentional (accidental) child gun related injury and death. It has been recognized that there are an estimated&nbsp;500 million&nbsp;firearms in the hands of the U.S. civilian population and as per the Center for Disease Control, unintentional firearm related injuries and death among children is a "public health crisis".&nbsp; It has further been recognized that children between 11-15 years of age account for two-thirds of the incidents, with those incidents occurring at home or in a residence, while playing with or showing a firearm to another child. In the first 5 months of 2025, Polk County, Florida experienced 3 preventable, child related gun fatalities.&nbsp; Those incidents prompted In-Gauge of Polk County, a non-profit organization, in Winter Haven, Florida to initiate its 'CHILD GUN SAFETY EDUCATION' campaign.
