What did you want to accomplish by publishing your story? 2) Being your own first responder goes beyond simply owning a firearm, but since we are talking to the millions of brand new first-time gun owners, and the millions more who are still contemplating the move to being a firearm owner, what can you tell us about taking on that responsibility? 3) As a survivor of domestic violence, what do you see that can be done to lower the number of domestic violence cases? 4) Off air we spoke about the importance of scenario training.
