Surviving the Aftermath of a Defensive Shooting

I’d like to bring Drawn to Judgment to Founders: a roundtable video podcast where members, defense attorneys, officers and people who have lived through violent encounters exchange experiences and debate different perspectives in good faith.
It begins with the conversations already happening among members. Confidence in how we would handle a situation can be very different from what witnesses see, what evidence shows and what a court ultimately hears. Carrying a firearm is one part of a much larger responsibility.
Each week, a different topic and different voices would explore judgment, escalation, restraint and the consequences for families, finances, reputation, health and the rest of a person’s life.
The goal is a national audience that comes to know Founders as a place for informed conversation and responsible ownership, helping the club’s reach grow beyond its locations.
I would fund the initial pilot. Chris Hedlund, known as Chris Headshots, is a professional photographer, videographer and podcast producer who owns his own studio and is willing to handle production and editing.
We would welcome your blessing, participation and introductions to people in your network who could contribute their experience or potentially support the show.
