All of the above. I approach this the same way I approach any tool—with respect, training, and clear intention. I'm trained in martial arts, firearms, and executive protection, so I understand defense from multiple perspectives.
I appreciate the precision and engineering. But beyond that, personal sovereignty matters to me. In a world where you can't always rely on others to protect you, taking responsibility for your own safety and the safety of those you love isn't just practical—it's an extension of self-reliance and awareness.
