Join us for a new episode of Radio GAG on Self Defense. People generally and marginalized communities in particular have once again been expressing in social circles the perceived need to own a gun to protect themselves. “Protection” is the number one reason cited on polls of gun owners of why they chose to arm themselves. In this episode we hope to acknowledge the fear and actual danger people may find themselves in, while also asking deeper questions about who and what they want to protect themselves from and what risks and responsibilities come with their choice. . Since higher risks of death, suicide and injury are associated with gun ownership, it’s our mission in this show to give good information on how you can reduce harm associated with owning guns and extend the invitation to join our Gays Against Guns community and networks of queer folk and allies everywhere. GAG Guests: Giffords Gun Owners for Safety, Shannon Flores and Jessie Ojeda with George DeCastro Day and GAG co-founder Kevin Hertzog.
