Psychiatric News (8/16) reported, “Military personnel who have firearms at home and a history of thoughts of death or self-harm are less likely to store their firearms in a safe manner than those with no such history,” researchers concluded after examining “the firearm storage practices of 1,652 active-duty military personnel who were seen in military primary care clinics between July 2015 and August 2018.” The findings of the 1,652-participant study were published online Aug. 16 in a research letter in JAMA Network Open.
