RSWC #253 Lizzie Jackovich

Lizzie Jankovich, a passionate advocate for Second Amendment rights and volunteer leader with Firearms Owners Against Crime (FOAC), joins Charlie on a chilly day at the Great American Outdoor Show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. What begins as a casual conversation about her journey into firearms quickly evolves into a blistering critique of political hypocrisy, flawed gun laws, and the urgent need for youth engagement in the freedom movement. Lizzie reveals that her path to becoming a Range Safety Officer (RSO) and future instructor was sparked not by hunting, but by personal safety concerns and a deep-seated belief that 'act like your rights depend on it because they do.' She exposes the absurdity of Pennsylvania’s PFA (Protection From Abuse) laws, which strip gun rights based on unproven allegations, calling it a 'coward way' to handle domestic disputes. Her most incendiary moment comes when she calls out politicians like Kathy Hochul and Joe Biden for misrepresenting semi-automatic firearms—labeling their ignorance as either 'stupid or liar'—and rails against the idea that constitutional carry should be a political debate rather than a fundamental right. Despite the challenges, Lizzie remains energized by her work with FOAC, organizing gun bashes, mentoring women, and pushing for youth involvement, all while carrying an H&K CC9 and dreaming of training with legends like Mossad Ayoub.
