IF YOU SEE A GUN: 1) STOP! 2) Don’t Touch 3) Leave the Area & 4)Tell Adult.
The purpose of the Eddie Eagle Program isn’t to teach whether guns are good or bad, but rather to promote the protection and safety of children. The program makes no value judgments about firearms, and no firearms are ever used in the program. Like swimming pools, electrical outlets, matchbooks and household poison, they’re treated simply as a fact of everyday life. With firearms found in about half of all American households, it’s a stance that makes sense.
Begun in 1988, The Eddie Eagle GunSafe® Program has reached more than 21 million children in all 50 states. This program was developed through the combined efforts of such qualified professionals as clinical psychologists, reading specialists, teachers, curriculum specialists, urban housing safety officials, and law enforcement personnel. This program focuses on what to do scenarios if a child does find a gun. This program is sponsored by the NRA and endorsed by law enforcement agencies all over the country. Please contact KCDA if you would like for us to offer this class FREE of charge to help protect and educate the children in your group, class or community.
