The ACP is a charitable nonprofit that is training and arming citizens free of charge. We are empowering single women/mothers, and training/arming entire neighborhoods. The ACP is dedicated to creating "gun-rich zones," and letting criminals know that they are more likely to be shot if they commit a home invasion crime in our targeted neighborhoods. We have already begun arming entire neighborhoods, and will be in 15 cities by the end of the year. We hope to train/arm 1,000 new gun owners this year. Please consider donating to the Armed Citizen Project. Funds will go toward creating new responsible gun owners.  Read More...
