Girls Getta Grip Gun Club will be open tomorrow from 2p to 4p so that Members can pick up their free GGGGC Masks!  We will host at least two Zoom Online Orientation Sessions (1pm and 3 pm) on Sunday, June 28th, 2020.  Limited to 10 participants per session.  Again, our target audience continues to be women who want to become responsible gun owners.

An estimated one in five women now own guns, since 2017.  Many of them have joined gun clubs and are well on their way in their firearm training journey.  Yet our research indicates many of women want guns but don't know which gun to buy.  A segment own guns yet are 'afraid' of them.  One girl told me she didn't go to the range often 'because guys thought she was there to pick up men.'

GGGGC has approximately 40 Members who joined just prior to the Coronavirus Pandemic.  Members range from housewives to Professors to City Managers.  These women are excited and many of them are a quick study:  we plan to include them in a competition later in the year.  Before, GGGGC had interested parties start with an Open House to register but we are moving to Zoom Online Registration.  Scheduled dates will be posted on website and Eventbrite.  

My name is Mary E. Edwards-Fears, CEO & Owner of Girls Getta Grip Gun Club.  As a Retired Police Commander of a premier Police Dept., I encountered many women through the years who wanted to learn more about personal safety.  During my police career, I did safety programs for Girls Scout groups, Church groups and I even facilitated  range visits on my off days.

My husband Mike and I spent the past two years conducting research, fostering staff and range relationships to provide an environment where women could relax and be educated on the fundamentals of firearms training.  Studies shows they are preyed on at alarming rates in robberies, domestic abuse and other crimes.  Women crave to be more confident with their weapons and we help them by educating them.  

Prior to Coronavirus Pandemic, GGGGC held Open Houses where Members got the opportunity to meet our wonderful Team (Volunteer) Members who are committed to providing quality training:  Charles Ellis, Denise Thomas, Rich Long, Elizabeth Haller, Jerry Zieger, Mike and I.  We all have law enforcement/range backgrounds and we are honored that women have placed their trust in GGGGC.  It is well placed.

Basic Membership is $50 annually, which entitles Members to various discounts on Instructor-led training and powerful imagery merchandise.  It also entitles them access to quality firearm training programs ranging from our Introduction to the Fundamentals of Firearms & Firearm Safety Training (IFFFS) Course.  Women learn the tremendous responsibility of being a gun owner.

Members get $25 off the IFFFS Course and get to enjoy many free training programs i.e. Dry Firing, Personally Owned Pistols (POP), and SIRT Pistol Training.   They are provided fee transtporation to the range in a 2019 G350 Ford Shuttle Van for transportation for Members to the various ranges.  We have partnered with Gateway Range, Sharpshooter Range and Metro Range.  Again - Transportation is free!

GGGGC Members get a Membership Card that lasts for one year and they receive first consideration in Conceal and Carry Weapon License (CCW) Class registration.  They also get $10 off by wearing GGGGC T-shirt to CCW Class.  T-Shirts are 1 for $20, 2 for $35.  Call (314) 279-1657,  (314) 973-8879; or thru girlsgettagrip@outlook.com or make an appointment to drop by-45 St. Anthony Lane, Florissant, Mo.  63031.
