Community partnership for gun safety

Questioned why Monroe County is a pilot community for gun safety grants, arguing county suicide data doesn't show an epidemic and criticizing blanket statements about firearm ownership.

Announced a free gun-safety event January 17 at the 911 Center with firearm safety instruction, free gun locks, and a biometric safe raffle; registration capped at 50.

Presented coroner's data from a state records appeal on violent deaths from 2019–2024, noting no youth firearm suicides or accidents in 2024 and that a 2023 child death ruled a gunshot homicide involved a BB gun.
