On this month's Talking Lead AK Korner presented by Century Arms we delve into how the AK-47 developed the stigma of being the "Bad Guy Gun". Joining the conversation with Lefty is Brian Keeney (Occam Defense Solutions), Jeremy Gresham (IWI US) and Andrew Breneman (Century Arms). To fully understand this "Bad Guy Gun" stigma we have to take it back to the AK's origins in 1946, go through the many conflicts and revolutions which were fought with the AK ( focusing on the Vietnam War) and bring it to present day and the impact the AK-47 has on American pop-culture. We discuss the AK-47 in movies, tv, art, toys & music that influenced us growing up and it's influence on the youth today. Lefty and the gang take to social media to field listeners' favorite movies featuring the AK-47 and then 3 Lucky Lead Heads get rewarded.

Amanda Lynn is the host of "That Hunting Girl" TV show, featured on Canada's Sports Man Channel, and founder of Just Hunt Inc.

On Talking Lead this week: Our guests include Michael Sodini former President of Eagle Imports and Founder of Walk The Talk America (WTTA) and Sergeant Major Lance Nutt USMC (Retired) and Founder of Sheep Dog Impact Assistance (SDIA). With COVID 19 still prevalent and the uncertainty on when a vaccine will be available paired with the social divide caused by the protesting , rioting and looting across the Nation, our mental health is being stressed to the max. These two non-profit organizations exist to help both our citizens and our Nations protectors understand and manage good mental health stability and get people the help they need.

Walk The Talk America: (WTTA) Our goal is to raise awareness and create a change in the misunderstandings in regard to mental illness and firearms by bringing together industry leaders to reduce gun violence, negligence, suicide and the trauma created by these events. Develop programs for suicide prevention, firearms negligence, trauma mitigation, and child safety.

Sheep Dog Impact Assistance: (SDIA) exists to engage, assist and empower our nation's "Sheep Dogs" (Veterans, Law Enforcement, Fire & Rescue, and EMS personnel) to #GetOffTheCouch and reengage in living an active, meaningful and productive life with a renewed sense of purpose. The US Department of Veterans Affairs states that more than 6,000 veterans die by suicide each year, and other statistics show that twice as many First Responders die by suicide than in the line of duty. Post-traumatic stress, injuries, depression, addiction, and isolation plague our Sheep Dogs to the point of thinking about and/or attempting suicide. By gathering together Sheep Dogs who have suffered similar traumas and experiences for an opportunity to continue serving, we strive to prevent suicides in our Veteran and First Responder communities.
