The gun is only part of the story. The real transformation happens when women discover they’re not walking alone.
In this episode, Robyn Sandoval shares how A Girl & A Gun has grown into a nationwide community that’s helping women build confidence, resilience, leadership, and lasting friendships.
You’ll learn:
Why community matters just as much as training
How confidence on the range changes life off the range
The heartbreaking story that shaped A Girl & A Gun’s mission
Why high standards create stronger leaders
If you’ve ever wondered why thousands of women are joining A Girl & A Gun, this conversation will show you it’s about much more than firearms.
What if learning to shoot was only the beginning?
In this episode of Defenders LIVE, Lora sits down with Robyn Sandoval, President and CEO of A Girl & A Gun, to talk about the mission behind one of the largest women’s firearms organizations in the country. While many people know A Girl & A Gun for firearms training and competition, Robyn reveals that its true impact reaches far beyond the range. Through intentional leadership, high standards, and a values-driven community, thousands of women are discovering confidence, purpose, and lifelong friendships that carry into every area of life.
Robyn also shares the deeply personal story that shaped the heart of the organization after her daughter Kiara’s life-threatening brain tumor diagnosis. In one of the darkest seasons of her life, she experienced the power of community in a way that forever changed how A Girl & A Gun would serve women across the country. Together, Lora and Robyn explore resilience, leadership, mentorship, firearms training, and why becoming a defender is about far more than learning to shoot.
Whether you’re an experienced shooter or simply looking for a community that challenges you to grow, this conversation is a reminder that strength is built together.
