Saving Lives: Walk the Talk America & The Armory Project

In this episode of Gun Talk Nation, we explore how The Armory Project and Walk the Talk America are breaking stigma, saving lives, and protecting Second Amendment rights through innovative firearm storage solutions for those facing mental health challenges.

Host Ryan Gresham is joined by Mike Sodini (Walk the Talk America) and Gala True (The Armory Project) to discuss:

• Why not all firearm legislation is bad—and how Louisiana is leading with a model that could work nationwide.
• How FFLs (federal firearm licensees) can offer temporary, voluntary gun storage without legal liability.
• Practical ways to start open conversations about mental health in the gun community.
• Real-world success stories of how temporary firearm storage helped individuals in crisis.
• Training mental health professionals to better understand gun culture and build bridges with firearm owners.

Whether you’re a firearms enthusiast, mental health advocate, or concerned friend, this discussion offers practical, rights-respecting solutions to prevent tragedies while keeping the 2A community strong.

This Gun Talk Nation is brought to you by Savage Arms, Guns & Gear, Black Hills Ammunition, Ruger, Safariland, and Range Ready Studios.
