Protection or Risk? Black Gun Ownership in America | Black Issues Forum  @MyPBSNC
Uploaded May 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
Host Kenia Thompson explores the rise in Black gun ownership with Dr. Joy Allen, owner of E3 Personal Defense, and James Collins, owner of Bullseye Firearms Training. From safety and training to mental health and political influence, we examine what responsible ownership really means and what should be considered before bringing a firearm into the home.
