I decided I needed to help my fellow first responders who might not have the resources required to get the job done. No matter what, we still have to respond to calls even if we don’t have the equipment.

"Extreme Risk Protection Order" (ERPO), also known as Red Flag Gun Laws, is a legislative statute which is supposed to help law enforcement. The law strips anyone with mental illnesses from possessing firearms while undergoing a psychiatric evaluation. The police officer will have to apply for a warrant with a judge.

Check out this episode of Tactical Blue, and I guarantee you'll learn something new plus I made the podcast a little funny to break the boring info!
