  • What the Firearms Industry Gets Wrong About Women. (ft. Tracy Lee)
    Jul 2 2025

    In this episode of State of the Second, Tracy Lee joins Kailey and John to share her wild origin story in the 2A space, why real training matters more than just posing with guns, and how to be taken seriously in this industry. She dives into the truth about censorship on social media, what it’s really like to be a female influencer in a male-dominated world, and how her blue hair sparks conversations at the range.

    We also get into AK matches, rollerblading with dogs, her reality TV experience, and how women can take their first step into shooting and self-defense with confidence.
