In this brief testimonial, Brooke Cheney recounts her lifelong exposure to firearms without formal education, the realization of her ignorance after becoming a mother of two toddlers, and the shock of national statistics on firearm-related self‑harm. Determined not to become a victim, she pursued firearm safety training, became a certified instructor, and founded A Great Start Shooting School to teach others how to handle guns safely and avoid becoming part of tragic statistics. She invites viewers to learn from her school.

Hi, my name is Brooke, and I have a story for you. I grew up around firearms all my life. No one ever taught me anything about them. And then I became a mom, and I had two toddlers running around at home with firearms in them, and I didn't really know anything about them. I didn't know how to load them, I didn't know how to unload them, I didn't know how to keep them safe. I was very ignorant. And then I learned about the national statistic of how many people have harmed themselves with their own firearms in their home. I decided then and there I would not be a victim of that statistic. So I started learning and training and learning how to teach others how to train. And now I own my own firearm school and I'm an instructor, and I love to make sure that you don't become one of those statistics as well. I hope you will check me out at A Great Start Shooting School. Thanks so much. Bye.
