She is also the wife of a USAF Veteran/ Industrial Safety Professional and happily labeled a “Boy Mom.” Jill volunteers her spare time to educate others on 2nd Amendment history and rights, safety education, and laws. She is the East Coast Lead for 1 Million Moms Against Gun Control, the creator of an investigative, "sleuthing" site called Mom-At-Arms, Virginia State Director for The DC Project: Women For Gun Rights, as well as Academy Director for the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL). Jill's main purpose as a firearms instructor is to make sure that everyone... women, men, and entire families... are aware of their civil & inalienable right to firearm ownership for self defense & preservation, as well as the responsibilities that come with the choice of exercising that right.
