Youth Gun Safety Incorporated is a Non-Profit Organization, Licensed in The State of Maryland in partnership with Boom Boom Firearms Training, LLC, the Firearms Training Academy, located in National Harbor, MD. Youth Gun Safety Incorporated was created by a Retired U.S. Air Force Female Firearm Instructor and veteran Police Officer. Boom Boom's team of ex-military and law enforcement instructors observed a common cause that involved the rising rates of firearm-related "preventable" youth deaths and injuries throughout the United States, with continuous reports of firearm-related fatalities among children and teenagers, whereby firearms were too easily accessible. Hence, we refocused our efforts and resources to address this issue.
According to gun ownership, the U.S. is ranked number one globally having anywhere from over 200 million – 350 million working guns. Boom Boom focuses on the need to protect the youths in our community whereby we teach thousands of personnel about handgun ownership for homes, businesses, and conceal carry. Youth Gun Safety Incorporated realized the importance of providing critical knowledge to our youths and to our parents collectively to save the lives of our youths so they can live long healthy lives.

According to the CDC, MMWR, a report 2022 Jan 7, Titled "Firearm Homicides and Suicides in Major Metropolitan Areas – United States 2015-2016 and 2018-2019, "Firearm homicides and suicides represent an ongoing public health concern in the U.S. During 2018-2019, a total of 28, 372 firearm homicides, including 3,612 (13%) among youths and young adults aged 10-19 and 48,372 firearm suicides (including 2,463 (5%) amongst youths.
These stats were alarming to our team and are the primary reason why we officially created Youth Gun Safety Incorporated in May 2022 with the primary goal to have a wider reach to our youths.
