Gerry Melendez's Message: Just finished a project on gun culture in South Carolina. The project focused on the record number of people getting concealed weapons permits but also touched upon the culture of gun ownership. This included sections on hunting, gun shows, cowboy action, gun ranges and gun violence.

Finally adding the final touches to my website. Let me know what you all think. www.gerrymelendez.com
