If you’re a first responder, military, or law enforcement officer, you’ll no doubt be familiar with the litany of discounts and options there are available to you through reputable firearms manufacturers. Smith & Wesson’s popular American Guardians Program has recently been updated to now include all honorably discharged veterans. This is actually a pretty big deal as there are always new veterans coming out of the armed forces, many of whom go on to be strong Second Amendment supporters.

Smith & Wesson Expands American Guardians Program to Include DD-214
According to Matthew Fehmel who is the Senior Director of Global Professional & International Sales and a veteran of the USMC, this new expansion of the American Guardians program is meant to serve as a “thank you” to the military, law enforcement, first responders, and now veterans.
We want to offer our gratitude to those Americans who have answered the call to service and have sacrificed so much to keep us all safe and free.
