当有人有自杀风险时，在家庭外安全储存枪支对预防自杀很重要。一些枪支零售商提供临时枪支储存作为社区资源。如果能够消除所认为的障碍，其他国家可能愿意这样做。方法我们邀请所有枪支零售商在八个西部山区州回答一份问卷，他们认为在提供临时，自愿枪支存储社区成员的障碍。结果95家零售商做出了回应（回应率为25%）。58%的人认为联邦法律使储存枪支变得更加困难，25%的人认为州法律是障碍。超过60%的人认为储存和归还枪支的法律的责任是障碍。其他重要的障碍包括费用、空间和接送的后勤问题。结论减少法律的和其他障碍的战略将需要得到解决，以更好地参与枪支零售商作为社区资源的安全枪支存储。
Introduction Safe storage of guns outside the household while someone is at risk for suicide is important for suicide prevention. Some gun retailers offer temporary firearm storage as a community resource. Others may be willing if perceived barriers can be addressed. Methods We invited all gun retailers in eight Mountain West states to respond to a questionnaire about the barriers they perceive in offering temporary, voluntary gun storage for community members. Results Ninety-five retailers responded (25% response rate). Fifty-eight percent believed federal laws make it harder to store guns and 25% perceived state laws to be obstacles. Over 60% cited legal liability in storing and returning guns as barriers. Other important barriers included cost, space and logistical issues of drop off and pick up. Conclusions Strategies to reduce legal and other barriers will need to be addressed to better engage gun retailers as a community resource for safe gun storage.
