Be Part of Safe Life Oregon

For Retailers and FFLs

Firearm retailers and FFLs play an important role in suicide prevention and in protecting the future of firearm ownership in Oregon. Nearly 80% of firearm deaths in Oregon are suicides, and many occur during short-term crises. Providing temporary, voluntary firearm storage gives individuals and families a safe option during difficult times while respecting firearm ownership and Second Amendment rights.

Safe Life Oregon supports participating storage partners by offering stipends to help offset costs, which may include items such as gun safes, secure storage equipment, and background check fees. Storage partners are also promoted statewide through the Safe Life Oregon website, outreach materials, and partnerships with public health, veteran organizations, law enforcement, and community groups.

By becoming a storage partner, you are helping save lives, supporting responsible firearm ownership, building trust with your community, and helping demonstrate that the firearm community is part of the solution to preventing suicide.
