Help Brannon LeBouef rebuild

Donation protected
As you may have seen on national news, a tornado touched down in New Orleans, and its suburbs as part of a line of severe weather slammed the area on Tuesday 22MAR2022. Brannon LeBouef, owner of the St Bernard Shooting Center and NOLATAC training, suffered a direct hit on his indoor shooting range and gun store and lost his entire life's work and business in this storm; fortunately, he still has his health. Since Hurricane Katrina, Brannon has owned and operated the St. Bernard Indoor Shooting Center in Arabi for ten years. A stalwart to both the local and national firearms community and a prior-service United States Marine and life-long law enforcement officer, he has always figured out a way to make it work; Tuesday was the day that has forced him to accept help vs. help others as moist people know him.

He rebuilt from Hurricane Ida, coupled with a thuggish burglary three months later where a vehicle was driven through the building, and insurance gave him the runaround. Then his insurance company pulled the plug just three weeks ago due to the burglary. Brannon was obtaining a new insurance provider to keep the mainstay facility open, but the storm ravished the building, and the contents were not covered. He had already been closed for three months trying to get insurance, but the current market is forbidding.

He is still running his NOLATAC Veterans Training Program but has to rent a new place for classes. All of this while moving his entire business while having no source of income.

I have known Brannon for almost 15 years, and he is the godfather of my son. Anyone who knows him knows him as a man of integrity, character, and hard work. I have seen this man do for others selfishly and go out of his way to help others, including helping during storms with feeding people, moving assets, providing security, and whatever his community needed. I know he is uncomfortable asking for help, but if anyone deserves it, he does. He will need to pay people to move the contents, rent a place to store it, cover his bills until he gets his next endeavor rolling, and other assorted expenses.

No matter how strong we are, there are times we need help. No man is an island. Brannon is no different.
