That man has dedicated his entire life to service. First in the military and now feeding Georgia Families. He was armed to protect his employees and volunteers. This man has a heart of gold.

Standing up to hate and entitlement is the right thing to do. Criminals are the face of hate and privilege.

This man is a chief manager at a food bank, is a veteran, and risked his own life to not only protect those he worked with but to help the police get a dangerous armed criminal off the streets. We need to protect this dude at all costs.

This is one of the many times a legally armed person may have saved many lives. Thank you sir for being legally armed. Thank you you for your service. My late husband was a Vietnam vet.
