Armed Teachers, TABOR Loops & CO’s $1.5B Deficit with Danielle Lammon


Listen Later

Are Colorado’s expanding legislative mandates actually keeping citizens safe, or are they just squeezing out small business owners and everyday taxpayers? In this episode of Will Carr Speaks, host Will Carr sits down with Danielle Lammon, a dedicated conservative community leader and candidate for Colorado State Senate District 27.

Danielle strips away the talking points to dissect Colorado’s current trajectory. From firsthand accounts at the shooting range to a deep-dive analysis of state infrastructure, she reveals how a $1.5 billion structural deficit, soaring property taxes, and specialized "enterprise fees" are quietly bypassing voter protections. Together, they challenge anti-gun legislation, advocate for arming trained school staff, and detail exactly how top-heavy school district bureaucracies are failing local classrooms. This hard-hitting episode is a common-sense blueprint for reclaiming local community control, demanding transparency, and restoring the constitutional balance of power in Colorado.

MAIN TOPICS COVERED:
The Empowerment of 2A: Personal safety, firearms training, and concealed carry options for women.
