The group teaches self-defense and has staged armed protests in favor of African American gun rights and against police brutality. The club was founded by Rakem Balogun, Yafeuh Balogun and Babu Omowale.

The group garnered national attention in August 2014 for its open carry patrols. Yafeuh Balogun expressed the hope that the club would continue to grow and eventually become a mainstream gun-rights organization.
