I had the pleasure of speaking with Paige Wyatt the other day. Like many of us, Paige is an animal lover. She has a special little canine companion, Malibu.
Here’s an excerpt from my cat Mew’s exclusive interview with Malibu… (his first, by the way)…
So Malibu, I absolutely freak out during New Years and Fourth of July when those loud fireworks upset my peaceful feline world, how do you handle living with a family who works with very loud firearms?
I do not like them! But Paige usually keeps me away from the range and if they do fire guns around me she makes sure I’m in someone’s arms and covers my ears!
Do you like to nap as much as I do?
I love naps! It’s my favorite hobby!
I like to hang out and help my mom when she writes or cooks. What do you like to help Paige with?
Naps! I’m definitely her cuddle buddy.
I live for watching the birds and squirrels raiding the feeder on our family’s back patio, the sound of the tuna can getting opened, and of course, my mom coming home from work. What gets you excited?
Kids! I love little kids, I always get excited when I see one because they are the most fun to play with! And they’re closer to my size.
For me, life is The Mew Way, so it’s all about love, not stressing about much (except for when I’m getting stepped on, my dish is empty or my litter box is full). What if anything, stresses you?
Chaos, I love a calm happy vibe, and when things are too crazy I get really stressed out.
Thank you for this purrfectly nice interview, Malibu (for a dog, you seem to be okay).
I’m barely a dog, I’m probably smaller than you!

“Listen to Your Parents!”, advises Paige Wyatt of The Discovery Channel’s Reality TV show: American Guns. An exclusive interview
Published June 20, 2012 |

As a mom to a teenaged daughter, school teacher, and former Girl Scout leader, the lives of young women in our society is something I care deeply about. It always does my heart a lot of good to see girls grow up to be strong and confident.
Paige Wyatt, daughter of Rich and Renee Wyatt (and sister to Kurt) of The Discovery Channel’s American Guns reality TV series is one young woman who is doing very well for herself.
I had the good fortune of chatting with her a bit the other day. An excerpt…
You are such a lovely young woman, Paige. I have a daughter, Aimee, who is 14. She means the world to me. What can teenaged girls such as you and Aimee do to stay safe in this great big world?
Listen to your parents! All teens think they know everything, including myself, but I know better than to ignore their guidance.
Good advice! Our site here at The Warm Milk Journal is all about getting a good night sleep. What keeps you awake at night?
Being excited about things, when I’m excited about something it’s all I can think about!
I think a lot of us can relate to that. What helps you sleep like a baby?
A long day in the sun! On the lake, at the beach, or by the pool. I’ll be passed out by the time the sun goes out.
What do you do that’s just for fun?
I love going on little adventures, just taking drives to the mountains, or trying to find new places to hang out, or finding new places to walk Malibu.
What would you say to girls who have never been near a gun in their lives (and just the thought of guns frightens them immensely)?
That it’s just a tool! Like a curling iron, you use it all the time safely, and there is a risk you could burn yourself. But if you know how to use it, you’ll be fine!
Thank you so much, Paige!
You’re welcome, Debra
Oh, before I forget… I have a cat, Mew, who loves to “write” Mew Way posts for us here once in a while. Would it be alright if Mew “interviews” your dog, Malibu?
Lol. That sounds fun. I think that could be arranged. I’ll go fetch Malibu…

What if violence in your community keeps you awake at night? An exclusive interview with American Guns’ reality TV star Kurt Wyatt
Published June 19, 2012 | 
Wyatt PR
Kurt is the 22 year old son of Rich and Renee Wyatt. The Wyatts are featured on The Disovery Channel’s American Guns reality TV series. Kurt is just a few years older than my own son. He is busy helping his family run their business. I asked Kurt some tough questions and I am impressed with how this young man answered them. An excerpt…
Where I live, there is a high homicide rate in certain neighborhoods. Given the industry you are in, what could you say to people in my community who are concerned about all the violence (especially among young men)?
The only way to answer a violent threat is to know how to defend yourself. Violent people have no boundaries, the homicide rate in your area may be higher than that of another but the answer is the same; Get training! Get a gun! The concept is simple yet so convoluted because of the stigma around firearms. You have insurance on your house, your car, even your life…why not make that life insurance hands on? Most people are amazed, a little firearms training can make a huge difference for a complete novice.
I read that it is a goal of yours to one day take over your dad’s business and even make it better. What do you find to be the most gratifying about running your family’s business?
Its nice to be called on as a person of authority. I mean, its kind of a cool feeling to be pulled out of my engraving room to handle a situation the other sales guys cant or don’t want to. Anything from trying to calm down a steamed up customer or figuring out how much money to spend on someone’s 20 plus gun collection!
Your ambition and work ethic is quite impressive. I have a teenaged son who is just a few years younger than you. As a mother I worry about the availability of drugs that seem to be all around us. What would your advice be to young people about drugs?
Just know your(his) boundaries, everyone likes to have fun but its important to prioritize. Im sure my mom worried about me a lot growing up, I’m sure she still does but I’ve always known that i need to take care of business before i go cut loose. Its part of what i learned growing up, what mom and dad taught me.
What do you do to have fun and relax when you are not working at Gunsmoke?
I’m huge into extreme sports; I bike, skate, surf(obviously not in CO) wake board, you name it, I love it. And of course I love to go camping and shooting that type of thing, its always nice to camp out and do some shooting when you wake up.

My website is all about getting a good night sleep. Is there anything that ever keeps you up at night and if so, how do you deal with it?
Oh boy, if there’s one thing I do well, its sleep…if I could I’d sleep all day, some Sundays I do; not productive, but sometimes everyone needs a lazy Sunday.
Lazy Sundays are the best! Kurt, We also focus a lot on living the life of of our dreams by day. What advice can you give young people your age who have dreams but may be feeling discouraged by a tough economy, job market, student loan debts, etc.?
DON’T GET DISCOURAGED! one of my favorite quotes is, “fear not failure, fear only regret.” If you want something bad enough go out and get it, the only one who can stop you; is you. When my primary focus was skating I tried for what seemed like an eternity on this 15 stair gap, I fell so many times, so many scrapes and bruises, luckily no breaks but some serious gashes and I never quit. Sometimes I still go back and watch the clip of when i finally stuck the landing, you can see the relief, the joy on my face, there is NOTHING like that feeling, its inspiring.
Thanks so much Kurt!
Pleasure, Debra.

Protecting our children: an exclusive interview with TV dad Rich Wyatt of The Discovery Channel’s American Guns
Published June 16, 2012 | 
Wyatt PR
Rich Wyatt knows a thing or two about protecting people. He is a former firefighter and a retired Alma, Colorado Chief of Police Officer with more than twenty years of law enforcement experience. As a master firearms instructor, Rich is certified by the NRA, the FBI, and most manufacturers of firearms as an armorer.
As owner of Gunsmoke Guns, Colorado’s number one firearms training center and largest professional gunsmith facility, he trains thousands of people from all walks of life on how to protect themselves.
Rich was the host of Spike TV’s Don’t be a Victim series Practical Tactical. He now stars with his family in The Discovery Channel’s Reality TV show American Guns.
Probably his most important role as protector is one of husband and father to four children, ranging in ages from 3 to 21.
I got a chance to catch up with Rich on the phone yesterday as he was driving through the Rocky Mountains. Here is an excerpt of our conversation:
Rich, my readers are interested in getting a good night sleep. It is hard to do that if we don’t feel safe at night…
Yes, I would agree with that. You can’t always count on the police to protect you either. It is important to have confidence in yourself to deal with any situation you may find yourself in.
How do we get that confidence?
To achieve a mindset of confidence, you must have proper training.
My husband teaches martial arts to people to help them with their confidence and self defense skills. What kind of training do you offer?
Out at Gunsmoke we offer courses in concealed carry weapons, pistol shooting, rifles, and shotguns.
Wyatt PR
That sounds pretty intense. How long does it take for the average person to learn how to use firearms?
Debra, give us three days and we can change your life.
Can anybody do this?
Yes, we train students from all walks of life: from law enforcement to private citizens.
Rich, this is Father’s Day weekend. You have four beautiful children. You must be so proud of them.
Yes, thank you, I am.
How would you advise parents on how to keep their children safe?
I would say first of all, get yourself properly trained. Get confidence in yourself.
That makes sense. If we are confident, our children will pick up on that and feel safe themselves.
Yes, that’s true.
What about training for the children themselves? How old do they need to be?
For sport, I taught my kids how to handle a gun at about age 5. But for firearms training, I think the years 13 to 16 are the perfect age.
One last thing…what do you do to relax at the end of the day?
I enjoy a nice meal with the family, talk to my wife, watch a little TV….
Thank you so much, Rich.
It’s been a pleasure, Debra.
