1) Situational awareness is always one our best self-defense tools, but perhaps nowadays even more so, with all of the pop-up violence from civil and political unrest across the nation. What can we be doing to enhance our awareness of the potential for danger in our surroundings?
2) What has been your experience of how Covid is impacting the gun industry?
3) Raising kids in a 2A environment and empowering children with knowledge and training seems like a no-brainer for you and I. How can we help others better understand the importance of these concepts?
