Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main concerns raised about NRA Carry Guard?

A primary concern is that the NRA's entry into the training and protection market with Carry Guard could negatively impact small, independent firearms training businesses. These smaller operations may struggle to compete with the NRA's marketing power and resources, potentially leading to financial hardship for their members and instructors.

What is the host's stance on open carry at protests?

The host strongly disapproves of open-carrying loaded firearms at protests, especially when done with the intent to incite violence or provoke a reaction. He considers such individuals to be detrimental to the cause of gun rights and not representative of responsible gun owners.

What specific gun confiscation measures are being discussed?

A US Senator has proposed banning private ownership of 'assault weapons,' which would necessitate confiscation. This is described as a process that would likely involve door-to-door searches and potentially SWAT team actions to enforce, as current gun registration is not comprehensive enough.

How does the host define responsible gun ownership?

Responsible gun ownership is defined by safely storing firearms, not provoking incidents, and being part of a diverse community of gun owners across all demographics. It explicitly excludes individuals who use firearms to incite violence or engage in dangerous behavior at public gatherings.
