I am the Face of America: Women Empowerment and 2A Advocate

I am the Face of America: Women Empowerment and 2A Advocate

Women empowerment comes in many different forms. As a victim of domestic violence and an abusive relationship, I have learned what it means to be empowered and to have that feeling taken away. Shooting to some people may not mean as much as it does to the next person, it may mean more. I have learned that my right as an American citizen to be able to protect myself is the most important right I have. And no one will ever take that away.

I was interviewed by Pierre Gervois, reporter for Gervios News which is an online based news channel.

About the Author

Lauren Hartnett I’m a gun-loving medic from NYC who has set my personal goal as high as changing the gun laws in my home state and city. Educating and empowering women by teaching them the ways of the gun world has become a passion of mine. I recently started Girls Got a Gun to help get out that information to as many women as I can. Aside from shooting and saving lives, doing anything else that can raise adrenaline pretty much sums me up.
