The Government's "Civilian" Trap, Constitutional Carry, and Surviving Societal Collapse with Dave

"It’s not the government’s choice about whether or not your life is worth defending. That should always be your choice." In this highly anticipated continuation of Keeping It Real, host Jenn Godfrey and US Army Veteran Dave, founder of Black Metal Firearms, dive deep into the polarizing realities of gun ownership, the psychological shift of carrying a weapon, and how rapidly society can regress when under pressure. @blackmetalfirearms dismantles the political divides surrounding firearms, explaining the psychological phenomenon wherein people project their own internal lack of self-control onto the tool itself. He shares how carrying a firearm actually makes responsible citizens less confrontational due to the sheer gravity of de-escalation. Jenn and Dave also recount harrowing, real-life safety wake-up calls—from a home intrusion in remote Sierra Vista to a volatile standoff over baby water at a grocery store during COVID-19. Finally, Dave details his viral legal battle against the ATF, revealing how he caught an auditor illegally copying customer records on a personal cell phone, how his store won the case, and how that very footage became a case study in the ATF Academy curriculum.
