Walter, Michelle, and the Panel discuss gun ownership with Joe Porto, owner and instructor of Goldeneye Training Academy. What are the pros and cons and laws applicable in various jurisdictions. Also we discuss in-home gun safety? If you are thinking about buying a gun for home protection, this is a must listen!
When Americans panic, they buy guns — lots of them. During the first six months of 2020, amid a global coronavirus pandemic, gun retailers have reported a record 10.3 million firearm transactions, according to a new survey by the National Shooting Sports Foundation. Overall, gun sales in the U.S. have increased by 95 percent while ammunition sales have increased 139 percent compared to the same period last year.
And while various demographic groups are buying guns in 2020, African-Americans account for the highest increase in gun purchases of any group.
“The highest overall firearm sales increase comes from Black men and women, who show a 58.2% increase in purchases during the first six months of 2020 versus the same period last year,” Jim Curcuruto, NSSF director of research and market development, wrote in his report. “Bottom line is that there has never been a sustained surge in firearm sales quite like what we are in the midst of.”
I have never owned a gun. I had the right to buy a gun, but I did not want to have one in the house with my kids. However, as with any position, you evolve with your environment. I do own a weapon now! This show is going to be about gun ownership as an added level of home protection. Here at the TWW, we do not consider owning a weapon political. We look at weapons as a means to protect your family and property against threats. It is another tool to minimize exposure in this very strange time.
In line with our mission to provide you with information that has an impact on the community, this security issue is in line with that.
