ASK (Asking Saves Kids) Day - June 21st

Is there a gun where your child goes to play?

Tuesday, June 21 is ASK Day. Held annually on the first day of summer, a time of year when children play more often in other homes, ASK (Asking Saves Kids) Day reminds parents about the importance of asking if there are guns in the homes where their children play. To find out more information about the campaign and questions to ask, visit the PAX Web site.
