Breeah Kinsella lives in Mancos, in Montezuma County, and is the executive director of Celebrating Healthy Communities. She identifies as liberal and a proud gun owner. A funny joke that I like to tell my libertarian and more right wing friends is that I m so far left that I got my guns back, she says.
