The Westchester County District Attorney's Office will host a virtual forum discussing “Gun Safety in Our Community” on Monday, July 18 at 4 p.m. The free Zoom webinar, open to the public, will be an informational session on what tools are available in the fight against gun violence and how we can keep our communities safe.
Guests will hear from District Attorney Mimi Rocah, members of the DA’s Office, and gun sense advocacy group Moms Demand Action about New York’s recently-expanded Red Flag laws, Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs), the WCDAO’s Safe Storage Program, ghost guns and what the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling striking down aspects of New York’s concealed carry law means. There will also be a Q&A portion.
“Our collaboration with the community on gun safety education is more important than ever,” DA Rocah said. “We highly encourage community centers, faith-based groups, PTAs, neighborhood associations, parents, educators and caretakers to join us for this timely discussion.”
