MDS Episode #0086: Gary Larson and Guardian Long Range

This was a great episode for us here at Modern Day Sniper because we welcomed Mr. Gary Larson from the Guardian Long Range series. The Guardian series of events is 100% non-profit and all the proceeds of these events go towards local organizations to assist with disadvantaged kids in the foster care system. The cause behind these events is beyond admirable, and supporting these events means direct, actionable change for kids out there that didn’t have a choice to be where they’re at in their lives. Please check out the Guardian series of events using the links below, and we hope to see you all at the Guardian’s Washington state event this coming May.
