“We’re informing people because there seems to be a push to keep people, especially in certain demographics, unaware and ignorant about their rights. It’s not something they should have to fight for, it’s something that they’re born with. We’re just an educational resource for anybody who wants to learn.”The event featured Minister Jazz, who spoke about de-escalation techniques, and Jose Morales, the National Rifle Association-certified instructor who owns the academy.
