Kenneth V. F. Blanchard is a
former federal police Lieutenant with
the intelligence community and
currently consults as a security
expert. A former Marine, he is now an
Author and Chaplain. Blanchard
relies on his two decades of field
experience, which included defeating
terrorism, to create and promote
legislation that coincides with the
reforms needed within the criminal
justice system, victims’ rights and the
protection of our privacy. He
published Black Man with a Gun, a
book defending the individual right to
keep and bear arms, and regularly
publishes on-line.
"Ignorance kills.
There are many sides to the gun control issue in the world. Until now, the one
that was missing was from Black America. Contrary to the stereotypes African
Americans hunt, collect and participate in all aspects of the shooting sports.
Like many children today, as a child, I had a fascination for firearms of all types
especially the ones used by my TV heroes. Later, I learned about the mechanical
ingenuity it took to make one work. And later still, I learned how much I didn’t
know and wondered am I the only one that didn’t.
I wrote a book and a monologue about my findings and experiences called Black
Man with a Gun: A Responsible Gun Ownership Manual for African Americans. That
of course, wasn’t the original title but the publisher thought it would read better.
It’s an easy to read, thought provoking, and sometimes funny and straight book
with pictures for anyone that wants the point of view from a “so-called minority”
firearms instructor and former police officer."
