NOIR | Season 5 | Ep.1: POWER
About this video
Colion presents his philosophical arguments about gun ownership as an expression of personal power and freedom. He shares his analysis of anti-gun sentiment, which he characterizes as fear of responsibility, and walks through his own journey from anxious first-time concealed carrier to confident advocate. The video includes training footage with instructor Chris Costa and debate segments with guests who hold opposing views on self-defense and statistical risk.
