Mark Smith of JBS Training Group is a man on a mission. In this episode we cover Mark’s history as a shooter and what drives him. Along the way he provides insight on his experiences and thoughts that center around being a protector and provider for his family and what he refers to as, “the weight of the gun”.

Throughout the episode Mark unapologetically presents some very direct questions for listeners to contemplate.

I think the timing of this episode and Marks message couldn’t be hitting at a better time in American firearms culture.
