Guns Ownership is a Dangerous Virtue. . .and we need to defend it :: 05/16/2019

Why Mandatory Firearms Training Is Gun Control :: 05/14/2019
I’ve been teaching and instructing, on and off, for more than 20 years now. Two of my degrees are in education. I have multiple certifications from several organizations as a firearms instructor.
