Brady volunteer and grassroots advocate Heidi Yewman shares an experience about why she never makes assumptions—and always asks—about unsecured guns in the home.

"I wasn’t leaving my kids with a neighbor or someone I barely knew. So I didn’t think I needed to ask. I was wrong." #AskingSavesKids

Thanks to Brady Ohio's @erickbellomy.bsky.social for spreading awareness about the need to ASK about unsecured guns in the home.

🔒 ASK Day is June 21 🔒
ASK = Asking Saves Kids

As summer begins and kids spend more time at the homes of friends and family, there's one life-saving question every parent, caregiver, and guardian should ask:

👉 “Is there an unlocked gun where my child plays?”

Eight children suffer from unintentional firearm deaths or injuries every day across the country.

Asking if there are unlocked guns where kids play saves lives.

Tomorrow is ASK Day — a reminder that one simple question could save a life:

“Is there an unlocked gun in your home?”

Every day, I wish I had asked.

I failed, Ethan. Please don't fail your child.

Why should healthcare professionals ask about guns?

Because firearms are a leading cause of death—especially for kids and teens. Asking about gun access can

- Promote secure storage
- Reduce suicide risk
- Pprotect families from unintentional injuries + domestic violence

As @endfamilyfire.org's Colleen Creighton tells @newsweek.com, around holidays family and friends are together in different surroundings. This means that kids might be in homes where there aren't typically children.

Make sure to ask about guns in the home and how they're stored. #AskingSavesKids

Have you ever asked someone how their guns are stored?

Gun violence is the #1 cause of death for kids in America so this question is absolutely critical.

Parents - before your kids visit a friend's or relative's house, make sure to ask, "Is there an unlocked gun in the home?" #AskingSavesKids

ASK to End Family Fire The ASK Campaign promotes a simple idea to help keep kids safe. ASK if there are unlocked guns where children play.

Just as you'd ask about allergies, supervision, and other important safety issues before your child visits another home, add one more question: "Is there an unlocked gun where my child plays?” askingsaveskids.org #ASKingSavesKids #EndFamilyFire
