The fifth of five lessons I discuss in the conclusion to Gun Curious is the need to reclaim civil conversations with our fellow citizens about guns.

In this recently dropped episode of Gun Freedom Radio, I talk about this lesson and also try to model it in a productive conversation with Cheryl and Danny Todd.

Although we disagree on a number of political issues (they being self-professed conservatives and me being a liberal professor), we also agree on many issues pertaining to guns and gun culture.

Cheryl and Danny are terrific interviewers and walked me through some important topics like what “curious” means in Gun Curious, the importance of taking my Sociology of Guns students on a field trip to the range, the meaning of “gun safety,” and how to approach conversations with people have different views of guns.

This interview was a long time coming, but for me it was worth the wait.
