About This Episode:
In this episode, I, Riley Bowman, and co-host Mitch Goerdt discuss the implications of social media on gun culture within the concealed carry community. We explore how online comments reveal individual mindsets and cultural trends, addressing misconceptions, the importance of empathy, and facades in anonymous interactions.
Key themes include when to carry, caliber choice, and firearms technology, supported by personal anecdotes. Mitch shares actionable advice for creating a respectful online environment, emphasizing the value of diverse perspectives. We conclude by reaffirming that responsible gun ownership is rooted in empowerment and community care.
As always, any questions or suggestions for future episodes can be submitted to [email protected]!
