First Responders Are The People Who Are Present When An Incident Takes Place

From Ammoland:

In reality, those professionals customarily considered “first responders” are, in fact, second or third responders to dangerous situations. It is critical to the Second Amendment movement that it is understood that the real “first” responders are almost always ordinary American citizens. The citizen who first encounters the person having a heart attack in the mall; the citizen who sees the criminal holding up a cashier across the street; the citizen attacked by a violent thug; the citizen who notices that the neighboring house is on fire: these are the true first responders.

Police/Military Experience Does Not Equal Gun Expert

From Washington Examiner:

You see it all the time in news media. Former law enforcement officials or military personnel are asked to opine on how guns or gun laws work. It doesn’t matter if that person’s position had anything to do with firearms or if they’ve even fired a gun in the past decade.

The mistake is to some extent understandable. People in law enforcement or the military take gun safety training at some point in their career. So, everyone who ever served must know everything there is to know about guns. Right?

Well, of course, that’s not actually the case. Many military members only ever go through basic training and never handle a gun again after that point. Police officers in most major departments, even ones on active duty, are only required to requalify twice a year after their own training courses.

Philly Man Provides Free Gun Training

From The Trace:

Our goal is to educate all hoods across America about the Second Amendment rights they have. A lot of times in my community, firearms are available before you have the information to even handle them properly. You can run across a gun at 15. What we want to do is, if anyone runs a across a gun at a young age, we want them to know what to do and not to do. It’s about making sure people from my demographic aren’t doing the wrong thing.
