About Aiming for the Truth
Aiming for the Truth is a firearms education outreach program founded by Kevin “KD” Dixie, a St. Louis-area firearms instructor and community advocate. Started in 2017 and recognized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in March 2019, it reaches out to families to explain how lawful gun ownership and Second Amendment rights can benefit the African American community, with a strong emphasis on safety, legal knowledge and the principle of having “no other choice” before using a firearm in self-defense. That principle is also the name of Dixie’s training company, No Other Choice (NOC) Firearms Training.
Before founding NOC, Dixie spent ten years in prisoner processing for the City of St. Louis Police Department, experience that shapes his focus on de-escalation and responsible ownership. He has appeared on NRA TV, Gun Freedom Radio and many firearms podcasts, has been featured in Time magazine, spoke at a gun rights rally at the U.S. Capitol, and in December 2019 became a brand ambassador for tactical apparel maker Propper after about three years as a sponsored shooter. He has also written on permitless carry for the Carolina Journal. By 2024 he was serving as lead instructor in Atlanta for Kids to Kings, a program providing firearms education and emotional intelligence training to young people in underserved communities.
