Let AWK work with you and/or your organization to ensure you are not risking your public image and livelihood. Our services include:
Thousands of people violate firearms laws each and every day, yet we rarely hear of those caught unless it is a major event. But even an inadvertent mistake by a professional athlete or entertainer will make front page news. While most violations carry minimal penalties, public figures often face significantly worse consequences due to the loss of contracts, civil lawsuits, and damage to their public image. These costs can run in the millions of dollars.
Developing and implementing a comprehensive training package including legal and practical issues surrounding the acquisition, possession, and disposition of firearms.
Creating an easily understandable firearms reference guide specific to you/your organization.
Providing a confidential “firearms hotline” to field questions and direct callers to appropriate resources.
Ensuring you are always in compliance with current laws and regulations.
Conducting/assisting with firearms related internal investigations as well as providing advice and guidance on firearms related external investigations.
Leading your community outreach efforts addressing firearms crime.
According to Tim Christine, Director of Security for the NFLPA, advising players not to own guns is "closing your eyes to reality." Adding, “It's unfortunate that there is not a mechanism for (players) to receive (firearms) training (from the league)."
THE SOLUTION
"What professional athlete doesn't have a gun?"

SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT
THE PROBLEM
Firearms are a unique commodity. Sometimes legal, sometimes illegal, always governed by an overlapping system of local, State, and federal laws, rules, and regulations.
