Based out of Hoover, Alabama.

A Southern Miss and Liberty University alum with an MS in Marketing and PR, Taylor blends strategic communications with passion for firearms education and culture, describing himself as a political junkie, sports fanatic, and master bourbon taster.  Known for candid social engagement (“I WILL NOT COMPLY.”), he equips gun owners with knowledge on policy, safety, and civic action.
