Wayne Co. Sheriff - Eddie Eagle program
I just got a response email from Sheriff Steelman. He agreed to instruct my daughters' Girl Scout (Brownies actually) troop in the NRA's Eddie Eagle program next month.
I'll update later once I see how it goes.Sed ego sum homo indomitus

Re: Wayne Co. Sheriff - Eddie Eagle program
Well, the Sheriff and a deputy drove down from Honesdale this evening and put on a show for the girls. The video that the NRA put together for the program was a little random but, it was apparently effective enough. The girls were singing the "stop, don't touch, walk away, tell an adult" tune even while they were brushing their teeth before bed.
The girls all responded well to the Sheriff's portion of the program. They participated pretty actively. Sheriff Steelman seems like an OK guy, too. We BSed a bit before and afterward.
He said that he's willing to put on the program to anyone interested. If you need to contact him, the email address from the County website is msteelman@co.wayne.pa.us .
He also mentioned that the county will be upgrading their system for doing all LTCFs to a computerized system sometime around September or October this year.Sed ego sum homo indomitus

Re: Wayne Co. Sheriff - Eddie Eagle program
I am glad to hear they enjoyed the Eddie the Eagle Program.
Did they have hand outs as well?
The Pennsylvania Friends of the NRA makes the Eddie the Eagle program possible through money from grants etc.
The funding comes from the Friends of the NRA dinners.
I am happy to see you are taking advantage of what is out there.

What happened in the video?
Do you think PA should have this educational tool in the school system as part of their curriculum?

A video is also available through the National Sport Shooting Foundation (www.nssf.org); free for teachers (in Safety, under Education) That uses McGruff for the primary grades, and also has videos appropriate for middle-school and high-school.
Yes, I think that we should be teaching gun safety, especially the Eddie Eagle mantra, as early as first grade, or even kindergarten."...a REPUBLIC, if you can keep it."

Re: Wayne Co. Sheriff - Eddie Eagle program
Gun safety and Eddie Eagle should be taught in every school as soon as the children are able to understand it. Another good thing I heard from someone is if you have kids tell them that whenever they want to see your guns you are to safely unload them and allow the kid to inspect the weapon, making sure they learn trigger safety, not pointing it at themselves or anywhere inappropriate. If you take the mystery out of guns kids will not be so intrigued to play with them when or if they find one. I believe this may the video that you watched. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIEBrb_wRYc
