Today we’re taking on an issue that doesn’t always make headlines, but it impacts more Hoosier families than many people realize. When we talk about gun policy, the focus often lands on crime or mass tragedies. But in Indiana, the leading cause of gun-related deaths isn’t what most expect — it’s self-harm. We’re joined by Dr. Jon Macy, a public health professor at Indiana University and an expert on firearm policy. Together, we’ll look at the numbers, the human stories behind them, and what can be done from a prevention standpoint. Our goal is not to debate politics, but to shed light on a serious health concern — and to talk about practical steps that can save lives here in our state.
