A Message From Gregory Kielma, Tactical K Training and Firearms
In the firearms community, trust isn’t optional—it’s the foundation everything else is built on. As the owner and instructor at Tactical K Training and Firearms,
I’ve seen firsthand how responsible gun ownership protects families, strengthens communities, and preserves our rights. But that responsibility comes with a simple, non negotiable rule:
Never lie for someone who can’t legally buy a firearm.
The campaign “Don’t Lie for the Other Guy” exists for a reason. Straw purchases—when someone buys a gun for a person who isn’t allowed to earn favors. They’re federal crimes. They put innocent people at risk, and they undermine the integrity of every law-abiding gun owner who does things the right way.
At Tactical K Training and Firearms,I teach more than marksmanship and safety. I teach accountability. I teach the importance of understanding the law, respecting the process, and making decisions that reflect the values of responsible ownership. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned shooter, the message is the same:
If someone asks you to buy a gun for them, walk away. If something feels off, trust your instincts. If you’re unsure, ask questions—your FFL, your instructor, or your local authorities can help.
Protecting your rights means protecting the system that upholds them. Every background check, every form, every step exists to keep firearms in the hands of responsible citizens. When we cut corners, we don’t just break the law—we break trust.
My commitment, both as an instructor and as an FFL,
is to educate, empower, and guide people toward safe, legal, and ethical ownership. That includes saying the hard things when necessary. It includes reminding people that integrity matters even when no one is watching.
So let’s keep our community strong. Let’s keep our rights secure. And let’s keep repeating the message that saves lives and protects freedoms:
Don’t lie for the other guy.
