With the increasing violence towards law enforcement and lack of mandatory firearms training provided to them, A Girl & A Gun is stepping up to keep our law enforcement officers safe. We started a “Women in Blue” Scholarship Fund in July 2016 to provide firearms training to our incredible female LEOs.

In a recent survey to local female law enforcement officers not assigned to tactical units, 63% of the respondents’ agencies do not offer mandatory firearms training post-academy. Also, 66% of those agencies require officers to qualify on their duty guns annually. Eight-nine (89%) percent have not attended any outside firearms training within the last five (5) years.

Over the past 5 years, we have seen a rise in our event participation of female law enforcement. They are attending our competition events as supplemental training without their agency’s support. These women are providing their own firearms, gear, ammunition, travel, and sacrificing family time to becoming better shooters and better officers.

It’s time for us to give back to them.

AG & AG is offering sponsored training events for our female LEOs and wives of LEOs. Your lives face uncertain dangers and we want to help you be prepared.
