Eddie Eagle Program
Fontana Police Department wins NRA Eddie Eagle Mascot Costume
The Eddie Eagle GunSafe®
Program teaches children in pre-K through third grade four important st eps
to take if they find a gun. These steps are presented by the program's
mascot, Eddie Eagle®, in an easy-to-remember format
consisting of the following simple rules:
If you see a gun:
STOP!
Don't touch
Leave the area
Tell an adult
There are over 200 million firearms in the United States. Whether or not
a particular family owns firearms, chances are, neighbors and relatives
do, making it likely that children will encounter a firearm at some
point. From their earliest awareness, children are exposed to guns
through cartoons, television shows and movies. They're curious about
firearms, and may have developed inaccurate perceptions of what a
firearm is and does.
