Carynn Rudolph is a disabled Marine Corps veteran who has a fascinating set of broad experiences that, at first glance, might seem paradoxical. On the one hand, she is a strong proponent of keeping guns available for all without restrictions as to type, size, or capacity. She also is a strong advocate and heavily involved with the concept of Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, JEDI. During our discussion, Carynn will discuss how and why she feels that her beliefs and work in both of the above areas are not diametrically opposed. We do get to spend some time talking about guns, gun control, and how she feels we can address the problems we face and read about all too often today. Today she works as a program manager at a youth center in Colorado. I love listening to her talk about how she is helping today’s youth discover and learn how they can become more responsible in their lives and how they learn how to take responsibility for their actions. Make no mistake, Caryn has a deep ethical values concerning right and wrong. I believe you will find our discussion intriguing and quite informative. I personally learned a lot and I hope you will as well.
