GGGGC Members, come join in on GGGGC's 1st Range Rally Day, this Saturday, March 11th, 2023 from 9a-12p at the Gateway Range! There will be both indoor and outdoor range activities and Members will shoot everything from a .22 caliber weapon to a Shotgun! After a brief overview of handgun handling, we will participate in an indoor range exercise. Then there will be an introduction to Shotgun Instruction, and afterwards we will do an outdoor exercise.
While we are super honored to have gained additional GGGGC Members, we are very proud to have over 45% of our Members renew their memberships! It is also refreshing to hear from Inactive Members who have continued their firearms safety training elsewhere. Our goal is to get folks started on a firearms safety routine. If not with GGGGC, then hopefully with another reputable facility. Remember: your personal safety is your responsibility. You will greatly benefit by learning gun laws in your state.
The GGGGC Team works very hard to meet the needs of each and every student. Your fee never expires, which translates into we won't stop until we get you trained.

My name is Mary E. Edwards-Fears, CEO & Co-Owner of Girls Getta Grip Gun Club. I retired as a decorated Police Captain of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police. During my police career, I did safety programs for Girls Scout groups, Church groups and I even facilitated Range Visits for certain groups on my off days. This is why we at Girls Getta Grip Gun Club have made women's safety our business. We welcome ladies from all walks of life into our Club!
My Team and I are extremely proud to report that we have spent the past two (2) years training over two hundred (290) women on firearms safety. Many of them enter our doors in possession of their Conceal Carry Weapon License (CCW). Any reputable Trainer will tell you that an 8-hour CCW License Class is no place to learn about firearm safety or how to shoot. This is why everyone must attend GGGGC's Intro to the Fundamentals of Firearms and Firearms Safety Course prior to taking the CCW Class.
Active GGGGC Members can sponsor family Members for training at a discount rate. We now offer training to Non-Members but not at discount rates.

Women, if you live in a town that allows Conceal Carry Weapon Licenses, you are strongly encouraged to get one. It proves to the authorities that you are a serious and responsible gun owner. If you ever are involved a violent encounter wherein you are forced to defend yourself, a CCW License, and any subsequent firearms safety training
Women, if you live in a town that allows Conceal Carry Weapon Licenses, you are strongly encouraged to get one. It proves to the authorities that you are a serious and responsible gun owner. If you ever are involved a violent encounter wherein you are forced to defend yourself, a CCW License, and any subsequent firearms safety training will improve your chances for a positive outcome with the authorities.
Also be aware that GGGGC has a mandatory firearms safety class that everyone must take: Over eighty (80) Members have come to GGGGC after taking their CCW License training elsewhere. Per our policy, they are still required to attend the 'Introduction to the Fundamentals of Firearms and Firearms Safety Course' (IFFFS). In the IFFFS, you learn firearm safety and how to shoot, an in-depth education not found in most CCW License Classes. The learning is intense and considering the stakes (personal safety), it is well worth the time and money. We tell Members, "Don't do it for the permit. Do it for the education."
Our 2nd Amendment Rights entitle us to protect ourselves from being seriously injured or killed. We provide an in depth education on what that could look and feel like. We are not lawyers but we are constantly reaching out to local legal experts and partners, seeking clarity on gun laws. We will also invite legitimate legal protection entities to our site in the future, to offer legal representation to GGGGC Members.

New Members will be privy to GGGGC's POP Program (Personally Owned Pistol Prog), wherein Members bring their personally owned weapon in for disassembling, inspection, cleaning, and reassembling.

New Members will be privy to GGGGC's POP Program (Personally Owned Pistol Prog), wherein Members bring their personally owned weapon in for disassembling, inspection, cleaning, and reassembling. This program is key to Members learning to properly maintain their firearms. We strongly encourage Members to take advantage of this program as it keeps their firearm(s) in great operable condition.
We constantly stress the importance of situational awareness, which is key to your survival. Small things like walking with a purpose instead of idly walking, having your purse on your shoulder in front of your body versus leaving it in the grocery cart, and being alert rather than on the cell phone.. We will help you replace bad habits with good habits. Note: Try GGGGC's 'Home & Personal Defense Safety Workshop' which addresses potential home invasion responses. It also includes a Range Visit & a POP Program! We now combine it with our Gun Selection Orientation for Members seeking to buy a quality defense weapon.
GGGGC has added 'Mini (Refresher) Clinics & free POP Prog Days'. We understand that times are tough and funds are tight so we have established these (free) clinics to address deficiency areas and to make sure Members' gun-handling skills do not suffer. Plus they learn more about properly storing their weapons and discuss different safety issues i.e. defense ammo vs training ammo, carrying in a holster or belly belt vs a purse.

Women's Physical Fitness
Let's address the stress!!! Even though I was able to travel to Switzerland, and take the Gondola to the top of the Alps Mountain, I couldn't have done it if I wasn't in good physical shape. GGGGC plans to offer workouts for targeting women's fitness and workout program goals i.e. Cardio, calisthenics, and free weights will be offered.

GGGGC plans to offer workouts for targeting women's fitness and workout program goals i.e. Cardio, calisthenics, and free weights will be offered. Our instructors are all American Council on Exercise (ACE) fitness-trained professionals.
GGGGC is also working on a schedule that includes excursions such as another Movie Private Screening at a local theater. This excursion is limited to the first twenty (20) Active Members who express interest. GGGGC will have an entire auditorium to sit comfortably and watch a box-office hit movie! GGGGC will also offer to host a cook-out (this spring) wherein Members meet up at a local park to get a bike ride in, some fishing done, or just sit and network with other GGGGC Members! Lastly, we hosted our 1st Christmas Holiday Open House where the attendees played games and won lots of great prizes!
We have started reaching out to Members to conduct Individual Assessments to determine what Members think they need more of: Range Visits, assistance with selecting an adequate firearm or simply to renew their memberships. We are still trying to perfect our email database system, which will allow us to communicate with GGGGC Members more quicker. We continue to try to meet every Members' training needs.
