About the Host:

Your host for this session is Vondell Burns—an entrepreneur, marketer, investor and new homeowner who knows exactly what it’s like to have questions, concerns, and even fears about firearms.
Like many first-time gun owners, Vondell wanted to make sure she was making the right decision and handling everything safely and responsibly. She took a gun safety class to educate herself and had the privilege of training with both Latif Whitsett and Cristian Barron—two highly skilled instructors who helped her gain confidence and clarity.
But if she’s being honest, this is the conversation she wishes she had before she pulled the trigger—literally. (Pun intended.)
That’s why she created this gun-free safety class—to give others a chance to ask the hard questions, address their concerns, and get informed in a low-pressure, judgment-free space. Whether you’re just curious, nervous about guns, or considering ownership, this session is designed to help you make the most informed decision possible.
