Safely storing medications and firearms can be lifesaving measures. Taking these precautions can make it more difficult to act on sudden suicidal ideations. For example, in 2020, firearms were used in 64.3 percent of active-duty suicides, 75 percent of reservist suicides and 79.8 percent of guard member suicides according to the Department of Defense Annual Suicide Report. According to the American Public Health Association, storing firearms and ammunition safely reduces the risk of suicide from 73 percent to 55 percent.
