AHSA welcomes New Media Director, Zak Johnson. A lifelong gun owner, Zak hails from Portland, Oregon and was the founder and first chair of the Gun Owners Caucus of the Democratic Party of Oregon. The caucus works to promote gun ownership as a nonpartisan civil right embraced by all Americans. Zak began his writing career as a reporter in South Africa in the late eighties and has since worked in conservation and resource management industries from commercial fishing to mink ranching. Zak looks forward to the day when the 2nd Amendment is as uncontroversial as mom, baseball and apple pie and knows AHSA is the team to forward that goal. Read Zak's blog.
