About the NRA’s Eddie Eagle GunSafe® Program

“STOP! DON’T TOUCH. RUN AWAY. TELL A GROWN-UP.”

The Eddie Eagle GunSafe® program is a gun accident prevention program that for over 30 years has helped keep kids safe. The program was developed by a task force made up of educators, school administrators, curriculum specialists, urban housing safety officials, clinical psychologists, law enforcement officials and National Rifle Association firearm safety experts. It began in 1988 with one mission: teach children four simple, easy to remember steps so they know what to do if they ever come across a gun. In 2015 the NRA introduced a fresh, new Eddie and added some friends—his Wing Team. Though Eddie has evolved, his mission has not. Eddie and his friends are still focused on telling children that if they see a gun, they need to Stop! Don’t touch. Run away. Tell a grown-up.

Words of Wisdom from Sheriff Grady Judd On Owning and Carrying A Gun

You can either learn what’s in Florida’s new concealed carry law and carry your gun legally or you can get arrested, charged with a felony and find out the hard way from a judge.

Florida’s new ‘PERMITLESS CARRY’ law is not as simple as many people believe. Not knowing the new law can result in a felony arrest and a criminal record.

You can either learn what’s in Florida’s new concealed carry law and carry your gun legally or you can get arrested, charged with a felony and find out the hard way from a judge.

There are benefits to having a Florida concealed carry weapon and firearm license. Learn and know what they are.

Not knowing them can result in arrest, criminal charges, an appearance before a judge, extensive legal fees, a criminal record and the loss of your 2nd Amendment rights.

ANOTHER CLASS GRADUATED

They will have your back, while you are shopping, dining out, fueling your vehicle or attending church services.

Last weekend we graduated another class of trained public guardian, concealed firearm carriers. They took and completed over 15 hours of firearms training, even though with the change in Florida law taking effect July 1st, they did not have to.

These people completed over 15 hours of advanced firearms training and will have your back, while you are shopping, dining out, fueling your vehicle or attending church services. Unlike many of those about you after July 1st, these people have been trained.

They committed to being trained in the safe and proficient use of their firearm.

Beginning July 1st, in Florida, no training, background check or licensing will be required to carry a firearm in public.

When you decide to receive training beyond that you received in a ‘concealed carry’ class and want to become confident and proficient in the use of your firearm, contact us. It would be our pleasure to prepare you to carry a firearm in public or for home defense.

Firearms training is all we do. We are your neighbors. We are the only NRA chartered, non-profit firearms training organization in central Florida. We are here to serve you.
