About This Episode:
In this episode, I talk with Rob Beckman, host of the Firearm Trainers Podcast, about the NRA’s current challenges and future direction. Rob shares his perspective on recent legal issues and management changes while advocating for reform, diversity, and representation in firearm ownership.
We discuss the importance of enhanced training programs and modern media strategies to engage younger audiences, as well as the need for a streamlined Board of Directors to improve responsiveness. Rob emphasizes transparency and member engagement in shaping the organization’s future, making a strong case for active participation in Second Amendment advocacy.
As always, any questions or suggestions for future episodes can be submitted to podcast@concealedcarry.com!
