BEECH GROVE — Days after a toddler was seen on video waving around a loaded handgun, a gun store owner says there are ways to keep your kids safe around firearms.
“The scenario could have escalated in matters that God only hopes never happens,” Garrison Burge, the owner of Beech Grove Firearms, said.
