Co-living is a bud- ding trend in larger cities that address- es affordable housing with communal style spaces. The rate at which natural disasters are devastating different parts of the country continues to increase. Individual wealth is rising and in 2017 the median U.S. household income hit a record high of $61,372, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The number of guns continue to exceed the number of people in our country and according to the Small Arms Survey (2017), approximately 27 million U.S. house- holds own at least one firearm but do not follow responsible storage prac- tices. So where does Alpha Guardian come in to all of this? As a company built on core values, we take immense pride in our products and the people that back them.
