Background: State-level Child Access Prevention (CAP) laws impose criminal liability on adults who negligently allow children access to firearms. CAP laws can be further divided into strong CAP laws which impose criminal liability for negligently stored firearms and weak CAP laws that prohibit adults from intentionally, knowingly, and/or recklessly providing firearms to a minor.

Methods: We constructed a cross-sectional national study using the HCUP-Kids Inpatient Database from 2006 and 2009 using weighted counts of firearm related admissions among children
