Working for one of the most well respect yet criminally unknown companies on the frontline of both 2A rights and gray market manufacturing, Helot from Defense Distributed joins us as we delve into the innovative history of the company, discuss the impacts of Trump's recent election victory, and explore the challenges and opportunities for building fraternal networks and resilient communities in the coming era.
This casts was one of my favorite yet as the conversation ended up going deep into a lot of ideas I have been wanting to include on the podcast and Helot had a ton of insights I haven’t heard before that will definitely get you thinking. Hope you enjoy!
