An actress would play Annie, and teach riding and safe shooting.

No offense to the late great Phoebe Ann Mosey, but some of her show demonstrations were not exactly what one would encourage as safe gun handling. To be sure, she was good enough to shoot cigarettes out of people's mouths, but such stunts don't exactly fit with the normal rules of gun safety.

BTW, Edison shot some movie footage of the real "Annie Oakley"; I saw a few clips on a video about her.

You go to the NRA for gun safety lectures; you went to see Annie Oakley for entertainment.
