On January 22, 2020, more than 300 people gathered at the 3rd Annual Women of the Gun reception, held at the 42nd annual Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show in Las Vegas. Project ChildSafe and Women’s Outdoor News again collaborated to recognize prominent and emerging females in the shooting, hunting and outdoor industries.

The event began with opening remarks from Julie Golob, who then introduced our own Barbara Baird, the publisher of The WON. Both women expressed their excitement about the event and how great it is to see this many women coming together to support Project ChildSafe and meet their peers in the industry.

Next, Joe Bartozzi, the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s president and CEO, spoke about Project ChildSafe’s efforts to help prevent firearms accidents by raising awareness of the importance of safe firearms storage. He also mentioned his appreciation for and the significance of members of the firearms community coming together and supporting the efforts of Project ChildSafe. 

Attendees then had the opportunity to mingle and network with other members of the industry and share ideas, thoughts, concerns and perhaps, plan future endeavors. 

During the event, we had an opportunity to chat with well-respected hunter Kristy Titus and outdoor influencer Sportswoman Courtney about the Women of the Gun event, Project ChildSafe and their thoughts on safe firearms storage.
