WORDS: FIFTY SHADES OF FDE
If you’re on Instagram, and have an interest in guns and gear, you may already follow me. If not, make sure that you do! A little about myself: I am born and raised right here in California. My parents were immigrants from the Vietnam war making me a first generation American. My childhood didn’t involve guns whatsoever, other than seeing them in movies and on TV. My interest in firearms started around high school when I would go to the range with my best friend and his father. It was a lot of fun and this experience gave
me a better understanding and respect for guns. When I turned 18, I bought my first firearm, a pump action shotgun. At 21, I purchased my first pistol. Not long after that, I entered the police academy and started my career in law enforcement. Using my experience as a responsible gun owner and law enforcement officer, as well as my love of writing and photography, I decided to start my own blog, Fifty Shades of FDE (www. fiftyshadesoffde.com) to share my knowledge with other like-
minded members in the 2A and law enforcement communities. I write product reviews for guns and gear here as well as a for few other publications such as www. breachbangclear.com More important than reading guns and gear reviews is training with the weapon you carry. I always train as much as my schedule allows. If you use firearms for self-defense and especially if you’re a police officer, you can never have enough training. I am a huge proponent for concealed carry by responsible
members of the community. I know from my own experience as a LEO, we’re responding to life and death incidents from several minutes away while the people in danger are already on the scene. A citizen equipped with the right tools and training has a much greater chance of stopping the threat and will ultimately survive the event by being armed and ready than by waiting passively for the police to arrive. I plan on sharing my knowledge and experience here at CALGUNR Magazine.
