Host: Kerrie Ann Auclair
Guests:
Denise Arcieri – “Armed Princess”
Firearms Instructor, Owner of Pioneer Arms LLC
Jane Maynard – Long-time Member of Armed Women of America, Bristol County Chapter
Part One:
We reflected on the powerful commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington and Concord with GOAL. Both Denise and Jane joined us for the morning battlefield ceremony and the evening Historic 250 Dinner. They spoke about the importance of honoring our nation’s founding and how those values continue to shape our fight to protect the Second Amendment.
Part Two:
In a heartfelt turn, the conversation shifted to why we carry. Denise and Jane shared their personal reasons for owning firearms—stories rooted in family, safety, and empowerment. These weren’t just discussions about tools, but about freedom, fear, responsibility, and strength. Their vulnerability underscored why the 2A community must continue to lift women’s voices.
