We had the good fortune of connecting with Darrell Edwards and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Darrell, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Creating Generational Wealth and a legacy for my kids and every generation after me can carry on. You don’t see that much in the Black Community

What should our readers know about your business?
My sole purpose is to get the inner city trained safely and efficiently when it comes to firearms. Our community has a bad stigma when it comes to ownership of firearms. Growing up in the inner city and being able to relate to the people, I just want to let folks know it’s our right to protect ourselves as well as our families. Also I just want to change the narrative when it comes to being Black and Armed.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Local restaurants is a must along with the beach. We would have to do some shopping as well as got to the black history museum in Ft.Lauderdale.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My two mentors have been Kyle Thompson and Orrin Fredericks. But the support of my family and close friends goes unmatched
