FAIRFAX, Va. - The Eddie Eagle GunSafe® Program, NRA's groundbreaking gun accident prevention course for children, has surpassed yet another milestone by reaching its 23 millionth child.

Created in 1988 by past NRA President Marion P. Hammer, in consultation with law enforcement officers, elementary school teachers, and child psychologists, the program provides pre-K through the third grade children with simple, effective rules to follow should they encounter a firearm in an unsupervised setting: "If you see a gun: STOP! Don't Touch. Leave the Area. Tell an Adult."

"The Eddie Eagle GunSafe® Program has been a tremendous success," said Kayne Robinson, Executive Director of NRA General Operations. "Twenty-three million young people have received Eddie's lifesaving message, and the future of the program is bright."
