#4 After Dark - JP: Are You Prepared For 2022? Natural Disasters, Self-Defense & The Health Crisis

Welcome back to Iron Sights for another After Dark Episode. A lot has happened since the last time I got to sit down with JP and catch up. The focus of this episode is Preparedness. It’s always on our mind but rarely do we take action until it’s too late. Since 2020 it seems our collective has been unprepared for what comes next - so what can we do about it? That’s what this episode is all about. JP and I start by catching up on our most recent day at the range and chat about the growing diversity within the firearm community. I brought up the recent fires in Colorado and ice storms in Virginia to transition the conversation into an open dialogue on what it takes to be prepared mentally and physically for natural disasters, self-defense and the health crisis we are facing in 2022.
