My name is Brandon Herrera. I’m an online content creator as well as the founder of The AK Guy Inc. I also am the one developing the .50 caliber rifle known as the AK-50. I’m a passionate AK Guy, and hope you enjoy the content I post up here and can gain something from it!

Hi, I’m Elizabeth and I created Casual + Tactical in 2019 to help women find confidence in concealed carry.

When I started carrying, it was difficult to find female-specific information. I connected with a few ladies on Instagram who helped a ton, but I still felt like I was scrolling for hours trying to find the answers to my questions. I was determined, but frustrated and I knew other women were too.

Casual + Tactical was born out of a desire to make it easier for the women who are coming after me. For four years I’ve shared everything I know about concealed carry on my Instagram page.

To take it a step further and make it even easier, I published Women’s Guide to Concealed Carry in 2021. WGTCC is a 100 page eBook filled with everything I’ve learned about concealed carry in the past five years. I put everything I know into one spot to make it easier for you to start carrying.

With over 27 years in the non-profit conservation arena, I am more passionate today
than I was on day one. I’m so grateful and blessed to have had a grandpa and father
that cared enough to pass on that hunting tradition. I started this conservation journey
back in my teenage years volunteering for the local National Wild Turkey Federations
Jakes event in a small town in Southern Illinois. Several years later after college I was
blessed with the opportunity to take my passion for hunting and conservation to the next
level as NWTF Regional Director for the state of Illinois. I spent 14 years as a Regional
Director and Regional Field Supervisor, where we experienced exceptional chapter and
membership growth. During the next 13 years I was able to capitalize on some other
opportunities within the nonprofit volunteer fundraising arena that broadened my
knowledge and skill set. I take no credit for all the accomplishments, it’s been the TEAM
members, volunteers, donors, sponsors, and family support that have all played a role
in this journey.
I have a beautiful wife of 34 years, two wonderful children, an amazing daughter in-law,
son in-law and soon to be a papa. Our entire family has a passion for the great
outdoors, this is the place where we go to connect with our creator, there is nothing like
it. My objective in life is to educate and share that experience with everyone I meet, to
give back more than we take, and to ensure that conservation and hunting endures
forever.
My current role at NWTF does just that. As Director of Field Operations my task is hiring
new Regional Directors to pioneer the path forward at NWTF. NWTF’s new vision
statement sums it up! A nation united by the life-changing power of the outdoors.
You too can make a difference, it’s time to answer the call for Hunting and
Conservation.

Yours in Conservation,
Chad Franklin

Dan Ball, hosts the number #1 rated Talk Show on (OAN) The One America News Network. Dan is an Emmy Award winning journalist and a Veteran of the United States Air Force, where he served as a journalist working for the Armed Forces Radio/Television Service. After a nearly 30 year career in local television, Dan was so fed up with politics as usual, he decided to throw his hat in the ring, running for Congress in 2018. Although Dan didn’t win, the experience opened his eyes to the amount of corruption involved in our political system and the mainstream media. Vowing to make a difference and to speak truth to power, Dan decided to leave local news behind after being banned by the mainstream media for supporting President Donald Trump. During the last 4 years Dan has tackled some of the biggest stories out there, from the COVID Pandemic to the Hunter Biden laptop, from the 2020 election results to the Assassination attempt on President Trump, Dan is never afraid to take on the establishment. Dan considers himself a true Constitutionalist, constantly fighting for our most important and sacred rights! In fact, his entire adult life and career have been based on two of those rights, the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press. Coming from rural Ohio, Dan grew up with firearms in about every single room of the Ball farmhouse and is a staunch and very vocal supporter of the 2nd Amendment. With crime on the rise and some government officials acting like tyrants from a third world country, now more than ever, Dan believes whole heartedly that every America should carry a firearm. In fact, he often says, if more people carried, there’d be less crime and less bad guys!

She began her career as an award-winning newspaper columnist in her hometown of St. Louis before moving to radio during the 2008 elections.

Dana appears regularly on television news and has provided election analysis/commentary for Fox, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, HBO, and others.  

A Second Amendment advocate for well over a decade, Dana is one of the nation’s premier voices for gun rights, having represented gun owners on CNN’s infamous town hall on gun control in the wake of the Parkland tragedy. She was credited with adding nearly a million members to the National Rifle Association during her year-long association with the group.

After numerous TV, radio, and podcast appearances, Yehuda decided to embrace The Pew Pew Jew and is now attempting to dispel the notion that “all Jews are anti-gun.” He is battling every day to give a voice to those Jews that are proud gun owners and staunch defenders of the Second Amendment.
