While these awards are great, our proudest moment came from the Washoe County Sherriff’s Office.The Nevada Gunfighters are credited with saving the life of a little boy in Virginia City.The little boy found a firearm in a park, he ran away and contacted the authorities.The officer safely found and stored the firearm.When the Sherriff asked how the little boy knew what to do; he said he had been to one of the Nevada Gunfighter shows and listened to our Eddie Eagle© presentation.This is our number one achievement!
