Unless you’re living under a rock, you’ve heard the horrific news of a large American Mormon family living in Mexico who were slaughtered by what appears to be a Mexican drug cartel.
Reports of women raped were published by a London newspaper and so far 9 members of the family were murdered including 6 children.
Joining us to discuss who this outcome might have been different had the family been heavily armed and trained to use firepower adequate to back down the marauding murderous thugs.
Q&A:
- We understand this American family was living in the border state of Sonora, Mexico. If you had a way to turn back time, what would you like to have seen been different?
- What do you have to say to gun control advocates who want to see families like this defend themselves with butter knives, or perhaps a single shot low caliper weapon?
- We increasingly see multiple attackers, particularly with home invasions. What type firearm is best for protecting your family?
- What is the future of self-defense with the increase in drug cartel violence?
- There are news reports that a 7-month-old miraculously survived the bloodbath, and that a 13-year-old managed to hide some of his siblings in the bushes and later walked more than 10 miles to get help.
- Where may we get more information on self-defense and your organization?
