Show Notes

Randy “Miyanovich” Miyan is the full-time Executive Director and co-founder of Liberal Guns Owners: a 501(c)4 organization which supports firearms ownership rights, the mitigation of firearms-related violence, and firearms ownership participation for the left-leaning.

Randy is a former remodeling and renovation business-operator who worked within the parameters of Green and Eco-sensitive building projects for 17 years. He has a substantial connection to the world of mental and physical health improvement through his 25 year dedication to Buddhist meditation, Buddhist psychology, and Chinese forms of mind-body exercise like Tai Chi and Qigong. For over five years, Randy taught Tai Chi and meditation to both the senior citizen and HIV /AIDS community.

Randy’s gun perspective is unique in that he was involved in firearms as a kid but walked away from them for over two decades. He returned to guns from the world of dedicated non-violence due to an increased need for self-defense in relation to his family.
