We are talking about the ultimate red flag in domestic risk assessment: firearms. Even when a gun is locked in a safe or secured by strict standards, its presence in a home marked by coercive control drastically alters the danger level. This week, we examine whether survivors can safely maintain firearms, how ownership can be used as a tool of psychological dominance, and why the physical presence of a gun exponentially increases the risk of a fatal outcome.
