child access prevention (cap) laws, enacted by many states, require parents to store firearms safely, to minimize access by children to guns, while maintaining ease of access by adults. cap laws hold gun owners liable should a child gain access to a loaded gun that is not properly stored. the centers for disease control and prevention (cdc) claimed that, on average, one child died every three days in accidental incidents in the u.s. from 2000 to 2005. in most states, cap law violations are considered misdemeanors. florida's cap law, enacted in 1989, permits felony prosecution of violators. research indicates that cap laws are correlated with a reduction in unintentional gun deaths by 23%, and gun suicides among those aged 14 through 17 by 11%. a study by lott did not detect a relationship between cap laws and accidental gun deaths or suicides among those age 19 and under between 1979 and 1996. however, two studies disputed lott's findings. a 2013 study found that cap laws are correlated with a reduction of non-fatal gun injuries among both children and adults by 30–40%. in 2016 the american academy of pediatrics found that safe gun storage laws were associated with lower overall adolescent suicide rates. research also indicated that cap laws were most highly correlated with reductions of non-fatal gun injuries in states where violations were considered felonies, whereas in states that considered violations as misdemeanors, the potential impact of cap laws was not statistically significant. all of these studies were correlational, and do not account for other potential contributing factors.
