When it comes to firearm safety, veterans aren’t looking for a lecture. They’ve had enough of those. What they need is a conversation that respects their experience, honors their expertise, and provides solutions without making them feel judged. That’s why Home Front Secured was created. It’s about meeting veterans where they are and equipping organizations like yours with the tools to have productive, respectful conversations about secure firearm storage.
Why We Started Home Front Secured
At MARCH Marketing and A-G Associates, both veteran-owned companies, we saw that the way firearm safety was being discussed with veterans wasn’t working. Conversations felt one-sided, and veterans—often seen as experts in firearms—were being talked down to, or worse, ignored. As veterans, we knew there had to be a better way. That’s why we launched HomeFrontSecured.org. Our goal is simple:
“To create an open dialogue around firearm safety, one that acknowledges veterans’ experiences and respects their knowledge, while helping families and communities talk about securing firearms in a meaningful way.”
We know that your organization is already trusted by the veterans within your community. Veterans are part of the fabric of your community, and our role is to help you tailor these conversations so that they make a real impact.
Our resources are adaptable, offering content you can modify to fit the specific needs of your organization. Whether it’s for a newsletter, a community event, or one-on-one discussions, our tools are designed to help you make these conversations about secure firearm storage meaningful and effective.
Veterans: Quietly Among Us
Veterans often don’t announce their presence, but they’re everywhere—in your neighborhoods, in your workplace, or sitting next to you at a local event. Many times, their military experience and familiarity with firearms go unrecognized or misunderstood.
Conversations about safe firearm storage shouldn’t be about questioning veterans' abilities; they should be about supporting them in maintaining that safety, especially when life throws the unexpected at them. Home Front Secured provides the resources to help you start these conversations in a way that feels relevant and respectful.
No One-Size-Fits-All Approach
We know there’s no magic solution when it comes to firearm safety. What works for one person might not work for another, especially within the veteran community, where experiences and needs vary widely. Veterans don’t respond well to cookie-cutter advice, and neither should the people who serve them.
That’s why Home Front Secured doesn’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we provide flexible resources and conversation guides that your organization can adapt to fit the needs of the veterans you work with. Whether it’s about securing firearms at home, during difficult times, or simply as a best practice, we’re here to help make those conversations smoother and more effective.
Respect Over Judgment
Veterans have earned the right to be respected, not judged. At Home Front Secured, we believe that any conversation about firearm safety should start with respect. Veterans are already well-versed in firearm handling, but like any of us, they might face times when securing their firearms could be a smart choice.
We want to ensure that when those moments come, veterans are supported, not lectured. Our resources are designed to make it easy for your organization to offer support, not in a way that assumes veterans need help, but in a way that empowers them to make their own choices confidently.
Good Conversations Don’t Just Happen
Talking about secure firearm storage isn’t a simple conversation for anyone. It can be uncomfortable, especially if veterans feel like they’re being told what to do or judged for their decisions. But good conversations—those that lead to real understanding and change—take time and practice.
At Home Front Secured, we help you guide these important conversations with care. Whether you're working with veterans directly or educating families and caregivers, we’ve got resources that make these discussions easier, less confrontational, and more meaningful.
Because We’re in This Together
At the end of the day, Home Front Secured is here to support organizations that serve veterans, just like you. We’re not here to preach or push an agenda. We’re here to provide you with the tools and content to help veterans feel heard, respected, and confident in their ability to keep themselves and their families safe.
We encourage you to explore our resources, share them with your community, and adapt them as needed to fit the veterans you serve. Let’s work together to start these important conversations in ways that resonate and make a difference.
