Serving Up Joy with Reverend Kenn Blanchard - GunFreedomRadio EP479

Our guest today is Reverend Kenn Blanchard. Kenn was once known internationally as the Black Man With A Gun. Before Google and Facebook existed, he played a monumental role in laying the groundwork for national concealed carry, the Heller Decision, and HR 218, the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act. Today, he is a musician and caregiver for his wife. He has a new book called Finding Joy in the Blues available on Amazon. 1) You were our very first guest on GFR, and much has happened in the past ten years since we first met. But, one thing hasn’t changed, and that is that you have been Serving others your entire life. From your time in the Military, law enforcement, 2A Advocacy, and now your wife in her time of health needs. What drives you to show up in all of these roles? 2) Your wife is still recovering from a brain tumor. Your retirement years have not worked out the way you planned. Yet, you write a book about joy. Tell us about that. 3) One of the chapters in your book is called “A Preacher and a Rabbi”. In a time when some are trying to sew division based on every conceivable metric – race, class, religion, political ideology, etc – you two found an amazing connection and friendship. What was your common bond? 4) Where does 2A Advocacy fit in your life nowadays? 5) Having already planned for a future that didn’t quite work out, how do you now make plans for what is next? 6) How do people follow you and buy your books?
