Tim Kennedy is known for his service in the military, notably serving as a Green Beret and special-forces sniper. But outside his military experience, he's made a career as an MMA fighter, author and philanthropist.
He continues to be one of the most prominent voices within the firearm industry, and in recognition of his efforts, he was honored at the 2024 Industry Day At The Range First Shot ceremony, where he opened proceedings by shooting the LWRCI IC9 pistol-caliber carbine.
American Rifleman had an opportunity to talk with Tim after the event, where we asked him a few questions about the Second Amendment, the life he's led and the thoughts he had on shooting LWRCI's latest design. Watch our exclusive 2024 Opening Shot video above.
