Atlanta Trainer Doubles Down on 2A Advocacy and Firearms Instruction
Harrison Benson, founder of Double Tap Coalition, appeared on episode 228 of The Firearm Blog's Behind the Gun podcast to discuss his Georgia-based firearms training and advocacy organization. Based in the greater Atlanta area, Double Tap Coalition combines hands-on instruction with Second Amendment advocacy. Benson's return visit—his second appearance after episode 175—signals expanding operations and new developments worth tracking for gun owners in the Southeast.
Key Details

Why It Matters for Gun Owners
Double Tap Coalition represents the grassroots training and advocacy model gaining momentum across the country. For Atlanta-area gun owners, this means access to instruction from someone actively engaged in Second Amendment advocacy—not just range time, but training informed by legal strategy and community defense principles. Georgia's constitutional carry status makes organizations like Double Tap valuable for shooters who carry daily and need current instruction on legal carry, defensive positioning, and scenario-based training. The podcast appearance suggests Benson is also scaling his advocacy work beyond the local level, potentially influencing how Atlanta's gun community approaches state and federal legislative challenges.
DownRange Analysis
The return appearance on Behind the Gun indicates Double Tap Coalition is expanding beyond localized training operations. Organizations combining instruction with 2A advocacy tend to attract serious gun owners—carriers, competitors, and legal-minded shooters who understand that firearm rights require active defense. Georgia's political climate and Atlanta's urban environment create both opportunities and challenges for such groups. Benson's continued media presence suggests he's positioned to influence training standards and advocacy strategy across the Southeast. Gun owners in or near Atlanta should investigate Double Tap Coalition's current course offerings and get involved with advocacy work at the state and local level.
