About Our Guest
As a former Navy member, Kevin and his veteran friends started selling out of a garage for fellow gun enthusiasts. Eventually, they moved their parts from a garage to a house to a warehouse, and Right To Bear officially became a business in 2015. At first, Kevin worked with another manufacturing company to co-brand barrels, however, he didn’t have quite the control he was looking for.
In 2020, there was an opportunity for growth built off a foundation of trust from someone else’s barrels. That gave Kevin a launch pad to step it up a couple more notches with a superior product by manufacturing their own barrels.
