“Black Boys With Guns” Brings Education, Training To Twin Cities

By Cam Edwards

I’ve written quite a bit here about restoring a culture of lawful gun ownership in our urban areas, where the conventional wisdom is that gun should be taboo and no one should encourage anybody to actually be safe and proficient with a firearm. That’s why I was so thrilled to read about the “Black Boys With Guns” event held in the Minneapolis suburb of Robbinsdale over the weekend.

It’s a class aimed at breaking social stigma.

The course was created to give youth the opportunity to practice their firearm skills while also discussing gun-involved trauma that may have happened to them or someone they love. It’s the second time organizers with “Strong Arm Protection” have lead a program of this kind.

The team behind this program believes that educating young black youth will help curb gun violence in the greater Minnesota Community.
