Peter Elias

In this article, “average guy” and retired firefighter/EMT battalion chief Peter Elias gets us thinking about being prepared for the uncertainty that lies ahead. Unfortunately, if Kamala Harris happens to win the election in November, we move significantly closer to needing to follow Peter’s advice.

In his 53 years, he’s witnessed America’s highs and lows. From the cool ’80s vibes to the divisive present, our 2A journey reflects the nation’s story. As we face challenges, he urges us to stand for freedom, inspiring a brighter future for the next generation to cherish and defend.

Sometimes, we don’t realize that the message we convey to others might influence their future decisions. We’ve all seen that guy at the range with the experience and the cool gear that condescends the newbs or the guys that aren’t deeply involved in the 2A movement. We’ve also seen the guy that is a true expert and has no ego and loves to help and encourage those who need guidance and advice. Which do you want to be?

As an average guy that has attended SHOT Show in the past, I can’t wait to get to the next one. It is a paradise of freedom and firearms and for just a moment, I forget that I live in New Jersey.

I’m just an average guy who loves firearms and the 2nd Amendment. I’ve started to get involved in the activism all too necessary to defend our 2nd Amendment Rights for us and for generations to come. It’s amazing to me how many of New Jersey’s one million gun owners are completely unaware of the winnable battles raging in the courts right now. We need to spread awareness as best we can.
