For three decades, Rev. Blanchard was known as a broadcaster, self-defense activist, and firearms enthusiast, famously recognized as the Black Man With A Gun™. He played a monumental role in laying the groundwork for national concealed carry, the Heller Decision, and HR 218, the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act.
