Girls Getta Grip Gun Club has been social distancing and self quarantining for the past three months, in the best interest of its Members, Staff and Visitors.  We are now ready to relaunch with a bunch of new training programs to meet the needs of the community.  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 soon!  

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.  

Prior to Coronavirus Pandemic, GGGGC held Open Houses where Members got the opportunity to meet our wonderful Staff (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 training and 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 to Specialize Weapons Class which trains on a particular firearm (.38, .380, 9mm, etc.)

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 relieved of the anxiety in driving themselves to the range as GGGGC provides 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.  We provide free transportation to these ranges!

GGGGC Members get a Membership Card that lasts for one year and they receive first consideration in Conceal and Carry License registration.  If they wear a GGGGC t-shirt to our CCW License Class, they receive $10 off.  

T-Shirts can be purchased by contacting us at (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.
