ARMM Inc (OTCQB:ARMM), a firearms lifestyle platform focused on self-reliance, revealed that it has added the American Tactical Defense (ATD) Active Shooter School Training, sponsored by MAGLITE, to its ARMM Academy.
The Dallas, Texas-based ARMM noted that recent events in Buffalo, New York, followed by the tragic shooting in Uvalde, Texas, and Tulsa, Oklahoma have cast the national spotlight back on firearms. The shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas that killed 19 children and two adults marks the 27th school shooting in the US this year.
Armm said its leadership strongly believes in “empowering citizens with education, confidence and real-world solutions” to defend themselves and others in the event of an active shooter scenario. The company is partnering with American Tactical Defense LLC, the most advanced active shooter training currently provided to schools.
