0325 – Expanding our Fight for Second Amendment Rights

January 5, 2013 by PaulCarlson Leave a Comment

Today’s show might be one of the more important podcasts I have ever recorded. as many of you know, our Second Amendment Rights are under attack and I must say that I have never been more concerned about our rights than I am today. In what seems to be a perfect storm, anti-gun politicians and activists are feeling more bold and empowered than ever before and when that fact is coupled with the understandable complacency of today’s gun owner, I see a serious threat on the horizon. Today we will take a look at that threat and some no-nonsense steps we can take to win the fight.

0322 – The Making of a Gun Frenzy

December 19, 2012 by PaulCarlson 4 Comments

A series of tragic events including the recent mass murder at Sandy Hook has sparked an atmosphere similar to the time leading up to and post 2008 election when we found ourselves in a serious shortage of ammunition and a long wait for “assault weapons.”

0307 – The Problem with Firearm Safety Rules

July 14, 2012 by PaulCarlson 2 Comments

I’m not a safety Nazi, but at the same time, I think that we do need to pay attention to safety especially when we are talking about firearms. The consequences when there is an accident with a firearm can be very severe, ranging from a bruised ego to death of yourself or another. It is this reason that people are so focused on safety rules for firearms. Rules, however, are seldom the solution. People look at rules as magic talisman that protect us from danger, but this couldn’t be farther from the truth. We must look at safety as a concept with rules acting as a guide and our engaged brain doing the majority of the work. Speaking of work, we are going to do some today. We are going to look at the problems that firearms rules can cause and how it is that we can deal with those problems.

0304 – Selecting Small Handgun for Concealed Carry

July 8, 2012 by PaulCarlson 1 Comment

I guess it was some time last week that I realized I have been making a mistake in how I handle listeners emails. I work very hard to answer all of the emails that I receive and to do it quickly. This method is great for that one listener who needs some information. What I haven’t been thinking about is all the other folks out there that might have a similar question. So it just clicked with me that I should be using the podcast to answer questions asked by listeners and at the same time, I should use those questions to build podcast content. Duh. Everyone that has a podcast does it. I guess I’m just a bit slow on the uptake…

So I got a great email from Jason Silva last week. You might remember the interview that we had with Jason in the early spring about an organization he is heavily involved in, Students for Concealed Carry. Check out Students for concealed Carry on their website and on Facebook. Jason asked my opinion regarding options when it came to carrying small guns. So today we are going to take a look at Jason’s question. How do we go about selecting a small automatic for concealed carry.

0302 – Training and Practice Dangers We Ignore

May 29, 2012 by PaulCarlson Leave a Comment

When it’s training time there are certain risks that immediately come to mind. I don’t even think about live fire without a good back stop, eyes and ears. When its time to go hands on, I always wear my mouth guard and depending on the level of the folks I’m working with and the planned activities, we gear up from there. In my experience there are issues that we come across in training that are obvious safety issues and then there are the more subtle issues that need to be dealt with. Today we are going to focus on the subtle side and talk about the training and practice dangers we ignore.
