A Kandid Chat on Gun Ownership, Safety and Gun Violence w/ Corey ”Safetyman” Jones

Shoot Me A Message!

On this episode I was blessed to sit down with the Founder & CEO of Safetyman Consulting LLC, Mr. Corey Jones, who gave some awesome tips & gems on gun ownership, gun safety, situational awareness & readiness!

The Stats:

• According to the 2021 National Firearm Survey, 32% of Americans say they personally own a firearm, and that equates to more than 81.4 million Americans who own a gun or guns.

Safetymans' Gun Ownership Gems:

• “If you stay ready, you don't have to get ready.”
• Read the level of maturity of the children in your household. Who periodically visits your household? Do we want them to know it's there and remove the mystery, or do we wanna hide it, lock it up and keep it away?
• Education is key. Locking the gun up is key and training is paramount
• When feasible you must give a verbal warning to the person that you are about to use force to stop their aggressive actions.

• Verbal commands are Stop, get outta my house. I have a gun.

• Give loud, repetitive verbal commands for several reasons. Number 1, I want the bad guy or bad guys to hear it. I wanna give them the ability to retreat, to stop their aggressive actions. Number 2, if somebody else in the house is on the phone with nine one one. We know that 911 is recording everything, so they're gonna hear that in the background. So that's gonna help protect you legally.

Active Shooter Scenarios:

In an active shooter situation the key is preparedness! Make a plan when you're in a public place and practice the 3 Threes:

• Find three places we can exit if there's an emergency
• Find three places that we can hide and secure yourself so we can be safe
• Find three improvised weapons if you have to attack the assailant:
• If you attack the 3 D's are the goal : Disable- Distract- Disarm

• Lastly, think about if you have it within you to go and run towards danger and attack this person to protect your friends, family, team members, work mates, and so forth? Or are you gonna run and hide? Either one is okay, but you have to know this beforehand!

On the fence about purchasing a firearm?

Contact Corey and go to the gun range with him and practice shooting.  See how you feel about it, see how firing it affects you. See how you do with hearing it go off, the feeling of it in your hands, how accurate you are and then you can make a more informed decision.

Safetyman's Motto:

"If you stay ready, you don't have to get ready."
