Emcee Paul Lathrop Speaks With Writer Tom Knighton
Emcee Paul Lathrop played double duty, not only introducing everyone but also handling all the technical aspects to make sure the event went smoothly. In talking to him about his experience, Lathrop said:
“I was honored to be asked to emcee the event. This is the second year that I have attended and it is on my list of must attend events. Not only did we hear from some of the “heavy hitters” in Second Amendment advocacy, the opportunity to interact one on one was priceless. I want to thank Kevin Sona and the entire group from Florida Carry for putting on this event.”
