At the Western Conservative Summit, we sat down with Antonia Okafor, an advocate for concealed carry on campus. We discuss her advocacy for gun rights as a way to empower women to be able to protect themselves, especially on campuses that are gun-free zones.

We also explore her process of becoming a conservative and Republican, identity politics, and how her beliefs in Christianity have shaped her into the woman she is today.

American Thought Leaders is a new Epoch Times show available on Facebook and YouTube.
