Q: How long has your Blog been active?

Q: What do you do for a living or is your blog a full time job?

Q: Obviously since we are featuring you your blog is Pro gun? What do you think the outlook is for the future of gun rights in America?
A: Well, the future is looking very bleak at this moment. It seems that people everywhere have forgotten the importance of the 2nd amendment. Although here in Utah we have general freedom with firearms, in states like California is becomingly increasingly ok to ban guns and eventually illegalize them for regular citizens.

Q: What is your favorite firearm and why?
A: I like the Glock 21, not just for the high caliber and cool design, but for the amazing durability and resilience.

A: Ultimately I want the blog to be a library for preparedness, self reliance and survival.

Q: What would you like to say to those that are anti gun or maybe just unsure of the purpose of guns in our society today?
A: This is a great question. When I grew up I traveled a lot, and in certain areas there is just an “anti gun” culture. It wasn’t until I got older that I realized the importance/purpose of guns. Recently here in Utah a gunman went into a mall and started shooting. Well he did kill some people, but who knows how many peoples’ lives were saved that day thanks to an off duty officer who was carrying his gun with him.

Q: What parting remarks or comments you would like to make or promote?
A: My parting remarks would be that life, especially these days, is unpredictable. Anything could happen so it is always a good idea to be prepared for as much as possible.
