ATHENS, Ala. – March 22, 2023 – SLG2, Inc., the industry’s leading event marketing company and includes brands Shoot Like A Girl®, Safe LivinG™, Hunt Like A Girl™ and SLG2 Consulting, is proud to announce GLOCK® as the first recipient of the Safe LivinG Excellence in Safety Award. Through community outreach, commitment to public safety and its partnership with Safe LivinG, GLOCK demonstrates exemplary performance in advocating for safety in shooting sports and personal protection.
“As a longstanding partner of SLG2, Inc. and an avid leader in the shooting industry, GLOCK serves as a perfect candidate for our Q1 safety award,” said Karen Butler, founder and president of SLG2, Inc. “Between its Follow the Four campaign, Cobb County’s Safety House and overall dedication to education and safety, the brand has impacted and educated thousands of new and experienced shooters.”
The company generously donated $100,000 to Georgia’s Cobb County Safety Village to build GLOCK’s Gun Safety House. This interactive miniature home is used to teach Safe Neighbor contact, Safe Place and gun safety to the youth in the community. Cobb County’s Safety Village believes that education is the key to reducing risk and protecting the public, teaching the importance of safety techniques, guidance on crime prevention, and, most importantly, gives residents hands-on learning experiences.
“At GLOCK, firearms safety is our #1 priority in order to increase awareness and educate those who own or handle firearms,” said Ainsley Connor, communications manager at GLOCK. “We are honored to be receiving the safety award and are proud to partner with an organization like Shoot Like A Girl and Safe LivinG, who share the same values as us in encouraging responsible gun ownership.”
With more than 37,000 pledges, GLOCK’s Follow the Four campaign encourages firearm safety and responsible gun handling and ownership. The campaign underlines the four primary rules of firearm safety:
Treat all firearms as if they are loaded.
Never point the muzzle at anything you are not willing to destroy.
Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire.
Always be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

GLOCK will receive a cut crystal trophy that signifies importance of always reflecting on safety, presented at the 2023 NRA Annual Meeting & Exhibits. For more information on tour dates and the mission of SLG2INC, visit SafeLiving2.com and follow us on Instagram and Facebook.
