GunFreedomRadio EP185 The Ameri-CAN Series: Gun Ownership 101 with John Correia

We are doing a series called Ameri-CAN. Talking about the CAN-DO spirit that is part of our American DNA. So much about our lives has been turned upside down by this Corona Virus / Covid-19, and we have been hearing a lot about what we CAN’T do and where we CAN’T go, but our guests during this series are going to talk to us about their area of expertise and all of the ways we still CAN learn and grow, train, connect, and expand our freedoms in ways we maybe haven’t thought about before.

Our guest today is John Correia. John is the founder and owner of Active Self Protection as well as head instructor. John founded Active Self Protection in 2011 to teach people in all walks of life to develop the attitude, skills, and plan to defend themselves and their families from harm.

You teach both skills and tactics...what do you say to people of every skill level who are seeking quality training now that many of us cannot meet our firearms trainers in person because we are under “stay at home orders”?
In just the past month we have millions of people who have become brand new first-time gun owners in the US. The first thing a lot of people do is pop online to look for how-to videos.  Some good and some not so good. How can they know if they are learning from skilled instructors online?
How important is it for these “just in case” buyers to have a working knowledge of, and proper storage of, the tools they now own?
Firearms are important tools in our self-defense toolbox, but there are other ways we can defend ourselves and our families. What are some things we can teach our younger family members about home and personal safety?
