Today we speak with another powerful human being.  Before we dive in THIS IS A GENERAL WARNING some of this episode contains topics that are very personal and may trigger listeners as we cover them but I can promise if you listen through you will take something away from it. Denise has been working as an Surgical Assistant and going above and beyond to help first time and experienced gun owners sharpen their skills for some time now.  Not only does she work one-on-one with Survivors of Domestic Violence but she also devotes a large amount of time to positively affecting others by promoting, teaching, and assisting in the licensing of those that are new to firearms in Massachusetts. She goes out of her way to create a safe, comfortable and practical way to destigmatize the gun community by holding LGBTQ member only classes to break the ice and remove the idea of the firearms industry excluding anyone. Firearms are not a political subject. Every American citizen has a right to self defense. Part of that is being a responsible gun owner and the work she is doing to bridge that gap is outstanding!
