The Gun Experiment: Recent Episodes
thegunexperiment
A show hosted by two regular guys just like you, who like experimenting with concepts in guns, gear, training and everything in between. We're going to talk about interesting things, with interesting people. We'll discuss everyday topics and try to make you laugh, probably at our expense. You better believe we'll be reviewing gear and sure we'll talk about guns, but not just guns because that would get boring. We believe the gun is merely a tool and and the person is the true weapon. We want to explore different ways to make this “weapon” better in mind, body and spirit. Experiment...everyday.
Honest feedback, and deliberate practice are the foundations of real self improvement.Episode SummaryIn this episode, Big Keith and I chop it up with Jon Dufresne of Kinetic Consulting. We explore his ever-evolving approach to firearms training, dive into the challenges and realities of night vision for both civilians and law enforcement, and get his take on gear like ballistic helmets, ear protection mounts, and weapon lights. Plus, we discuss current events around drones, surveillance, and the impact of gun control legislation in New York and New Jersey. We also share some thoughts on the importance of setting goals, practicing regularly, and balancing technology and privacy in today’s world.

Key Takeaways* Jon’s training philosophy treats curriculum as a living document, always updated with improvements and student feedback. * "See The Night," Jon’s night vision company, focuses on not just supplying night vision gear, but educating users with hands-on integration and white-glove service—mainly for law enforcement, but open to civilians. * Deliberate, regular practice (even dry fire for 10 minutes a night) is essential—once-a-year training isn’t enough, especially when it comes to high-stress situations like home defense or active shooter response. * PCCs (Pistol Caliber Carbines) have limitations—reliability and performance at distance can be serious issues for both civilians and law enforcement. * Weaponized Geometry is Jon’s class tailored for solo, non-team room clearing, with emphasis on realistic expectations and skill development. * Including your kids in training (even in dry fire!) builds healthy lifelong habits. * Gear matters: things like helmet covers, counterweights, helmet-mounted lights, and ear protection mounts each have specific pros and cons—Jon breaks it all down. * Drones, AI, and surveillance are a double-edged sword, increasing both convenience and risks to personal privacy. * Legislative news: New Jersey’s assault weapon and magazine ban overturned, and federal efforts push for American-made weapons to equip the military.

"Embrace a wide range of interests—curiosity leads to growth."Episode SummaryIn this episode, we chopped it up with Chris Long, the marketing manager from Walther Arms. Mike and Keith shared tales of epic road trips (one going south, the other north!), compared favorite bourbons, and discussed what makes an exceptional range day. Chris gave us the inside scoop on Walther’s latest projects, the rare and collectible Meister Series pistols, and his approach to partnerships and gun industry innovation. We dug into Walther’s product philosophy, customizing PDP pistols, and the rising trend of performance-minded female shooters. We even speculated about the future of gun laws and fantasized about integrating drones and drifting cars with our favorite firearms (because why not?).

"If you fail and you learn something from it, that is actually a success."Episode SummaryIn this episode, I sit down with Ben DeWalt of On Site Firearms Training and Erick Gelhaus of Cougar Mountain Solutions for an in-depth, no-nonsense discussion about firearms training, collaborative teaching, skill development, and the importance of a growth mindset on the range. Ben and Eric shared their experiences co-teaching pistol performance classes, how they balance speed and accuracy, the value of dry firing, and why ongoing education from other instructors is crucial for personal and professional growth.
We dove into everything from handling failure, identifying the most overrated gadgets in the gun world, to the role of ego in the firearms industry. Ben and Eric also highlighted why shotgun training is gaining traction, how to structure effective practice with time constraints, and the importance of adapting instructional methods to best serve students.

Show Notes – The Gun Experiment: "Stereo Mix" with Clint SmithEpisode Maxim"Technology will not make up for technique."
Episode SummaryWelcome to another episode of The Gun Experiment! Big Keith and I are joined by the legendary Clint Smith—a Marine Corps veteran, former law enforcement officer, and foundational icon in the world of firearms training. In this episode, we talk about transitions in life, the importance of mental conditioning in gunfighting, what keeps Clint coming back to the range, and his philosophy on gear versus technique.
From lessons learned at Thunder Ranch to adapting to smaller, more intimate classes in Wyoming, Clint shares wisdom on being a lifelong student, the responsibility of gun ownership, and why our brains are the most important weapon we have. If you’ve ever wondered how to age gracefully in this industry, how to stay relevant, or what it really takes to prepare for the unexpected, this is a can’t-miss conversation.

Key Takeaways* Tool vs. Technique: Technology and new gear can’t replace solid fundamentals and continued practice. * Teaching as a Lifelong Purpose: Sharing knowledge and seeing students’ lightbulb moments keep veteran instructors like Clint Smith returning to the range. * Mental Conditioning: The most critical factor in surviving a violent encounter is the space between your ears. Practicing verbal skills, scenario planning, and keeping calm under pressure are just as important as marksmanship. * Preparedness over Ego: Humility, logic, and self-reflection are vital both in life transitions and self-defense situations. * Community Unity: The biggest threat to the Second Amendment is infighting and lack of solidarity within the firearms community. Stay united, whether your interest is sporting clays or AR-15s. * Continuous Growth: There’s no room for laziness—keep learning, adapting, and contributing, no matter your age or stage in life.

“If you’re not prepared to protect your rights, someone else will decide how you live.”Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Gun Experiment, we sit down with Peter Tilem, Second Amendment attorney and bourbon buddy, to chop it up on the latest legal battles, gun rights issues, and regulatory absurdities coming out of New York and beyond. We cover the implications of the new so-called “Glock ban,” why courts are so slow to tackle assault weapon and magazine bans, and New York’s relentless push for tighter firearm regulations—including a new three-day waiting period. We also dive into free speech rights in schools, the expanding use of AI surveillance in cities, and the dangers of proposed hunting and fishing bans.

Visit spartanarmorsystems.com for your personal protection needs.
Key Takeaways* New York’s “Glock ban” is more bark than bite but shows a continued legislative obsession with targeting gun owners. * Waiting periods and carry insurance bans in NY are likely unconstitutional and face tough legal challenges post-Bruen decision. * The courts are a slow, inefficient fix for bad laws—winning elections and being active in local politics is more effective. * Selective law enforcement (both liberal and conservative) is a slippery slope and citizens can’t always rely on prosecutorial discretion for protection. * Hunting and fishing rights are under political attack in some states—protecting these traditions requires active involvement and coalition-building. * Surveillance technology and AI in cities continue to advance rapidly—at the expense of personal privacy and freedom.

Episode Maxim"When it comes to firearms training—there’s no substitute for real-time coaching and learning to think outside the box."Episode SummaryIn this episode, Keith and I sit down with Jack Daniel, Director of Training at Thunder Ranch, to dive deep into the art and science of firearms training. Drawing on his 19-year law enforcement career specializing in patrol, narcotics, and SWAT leadership, Jack shares the lessons he's carried into civilian training and the mindset shifts required when moving from law enforcement to teaching civilians.
Jack unpacks the importance of individualized instruction, the role of leadership on the range, and how Thunder Ranch continues to evolve its training doctrines post-Clint Smith. We explore everything from dry fire best practices and common student “training scars,” to crucial live fire drills and the value of pressure-tested mindset and mechanics.
We also discuss what makes Thunder Ranch stand out among firearms training facilities, gear failures to avoid, and Jack’s approach to realistic defensive encounters. Plus, Jack shares his rapid-fire insights on overhyped training trends, fist fighting myths, and the most overlooked piece of carry gear—all while giving listeners actionable advice to elevate their skills.

"I believe that fundamentals never change—but as shooters and instructors, we should never stop evolving and learning."Episode SummaryIn this episode, we sit down once again with our friend Ben DeWalt from On Sight Firearms Training. We dive deep into the ongoing challenges every shooter faces—grip, sights, and trigger control—and why diagnosing your own problems on the range is so critical. Ben talks through the difference between trends and fundamentals in the firearms world, why optics and weapon lights are here to stay, and shares his candid takes on what needs to die a bloody death in training circles. We also break down the most recent 2A news, from Tennessee’s deadly force expansion to body armor bans and other firearm's news. And of course, rapid-fire Q&A and some personal stories about moving south, bad travel etiquette, and whether or not we’re really about that running-with-the-bulls life.

Key Takeaways* Marketing vs. Sales: Zeke Stout emphasizes the crucial difference between marketing and sales and why trust-building (not just immediate sales) is vital in the gun industry (10:01–13:21). * Print Media vs. Digital: Print ads are less effective than podcasts, YouTube, and social media, especially for gun culture. The audience values authenticity and real voices over marketed hype (14:41–15:30). * Current Trends: Innovation is finally happening with magnetic recoil reduction via Frytech, and Zeke Stout sees appetite for real technical advancement (21:13–23:11). * Gun Culture Authenticity: The community wants genuine, passionate representation—not corporations pretending tactical experience they don’t have (16:25–18:40). * Second Amendment Culture: The fight for gun rights is being lost due to infighting and politicization—the community needs unity across political lines (24:08–25:20). * Education over Legislation: We agree that education about firearms safety beats new restrictive laws—and that knowledge, not fear, saves lives (34:01–38:36). * AI in Healthcare: Medical AI tools can be helpful, but they're also dangerous if used as a substitute for professional advice—nothing replaces a real expert (59:48–01:04:20).

"Be a man of your word, don’t be a hypocrite."
Episode Summary
In this episode of The Gun Experiment, we chopped it up with Frank Riess, owner of Wallkill River Small Arms and our favorite recurring guest co-host. We dove into the current state of the firearms industry, the surprising resurgence of first-time buyers, and the ever-persistent confusion around New York gun laws. We also tackled the ammo supply crunch, the great red dot vs. iron sight debate, and the looming legal impacts of new rules—straight from gun shop trenches.
From the history of pre- and post-'64 Winchester rifles to the ridiculous proposals of serialized ammo and government overreach, Frank didn’t hold back. We got frank (pun intended) about how quality, craftsmanship, and common sense regulations all play into being a responsible, well-informed gun owner—and citizen. The episode wraps up with some laughs about New York politics, government hypocrisy, and the most unbelievable quadriplegic cornhole story you'll ever hear.

Key Takeaways
- Frank has seen a return of first-time gun buyers lately, especially new transplants from the city, preppers, and those looking for added security.
- Despite industry assumptions, most 2020 "COVID gun owners" kept their firearms instead of selling them back.
- The great ammo shortage is back: 9mm is nearly impossible to keep in stock, echoing the "toilet paper effect" from the pandemic.
- New gun owners are better informed than expected, but still trip up on New York's confusing rifle endorsement laws.
- The fit and finish in older firearms (pre-'64 Winchesters) far surpass mass-produced models—know what you’re buying!
- A balance of quality, function, and budget is key in gun buying; sometimes a Glock 19 really is the best bang for your buck.
- The team debates the pitfalls of government overreach, the necessity of cash, and the fine line between law and common sense.
- Fun rapid-fire questions, candid debates, and a jaw-dropping cornhole quadriplegic story wrap things up.

Plus, we taste-test several bourbons and whiskeys, review 1911 craftsmanship, and discuss the ongoing push-and-pull between government overregulation and personal freedoms. We even explore headline news topics, including proposed gun barrel regulations, marijuana users’ gun rights, and how policy changes are impacting veterans.

"Remember that being underestimated is an opportunity. Carve out your own niche, innovate, and let your authenticity do the talking."Episode Summary:
Welcome to this episode of The Gun Experiment, where Big Keith and I sit down with Chris Long, the content and communications manager — now head of marketing — for Walther Arms. We kick things off sharing funny and awkward stories from daily life, then dive into Chris’s unique journey from fuel tank cleaning to leading marketing for one of the gun industry’s most innovative brands. We explore Walther’s approach to product development, social media restrictions, creative marketing strategies, and how being the “underdog” is actually a pretty great place to be.
We discuss Walther’s generous 30-day money-back guarantee and their efforts to expand gun culture into fringe markets like action sports, cars, and martial arts. Chris shares behind-the-scenes insights on product innovation (hello, PDP and the drift car!), the importance of training, and why pistol shooting should be treated almost like a martial art. If you’re curious about where Walther is headed, how they keep things “real,” and how brands can help normalize responsible firearms ownership, this episode is packed with relatable stories and actionable insights.

- Walther Arms offers an industry-leading, no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee on their pistols.
- Social media restrictions remain a big challenge for firearm marketing, but creativity and authenticity can still win.
- Walther is pushing the boundaries by bridging the gap between gun culture and fringe/action sports, cars, music, and martial arts.
- Treating pistol shooting as a martial art, and focusing on training over gear, sets serious gun owners apart.
- Being a smaller “underdog” allows Walther to move fast, be real, and build a tight-knit family culture in the industry.
- The PDP line stands out for trigger, ergonomics, and innovation — and Walther continues to expand its product offerings globally.
- Authentic community engagement (like collabs on social media) is key for growing brand loyalty.

"When things look bleak, stay true to your beliefs because hope and a positive perspective can move mountains."Episode Summary
In this episode of The Gun Experiment, we chop it up with Casey Betzold, Director of Global Solutions at Brownell's, and dive into everything from gun laws across the US and the globe, to what makes American gun culture unique. We share listener stories, talk about building AR-15s, explore rapid-fire advice for new gun owners, and dissect the shifting laws in New Mexico and Virginia. The roundtable covers the challenges facing Gen Z, Supreme Court dynamics, and Casey’s unique rocket-engine background as we celebrate NASA’s Artemis moon mission. We wrap up with thoughtful discussions on political accountability, government shutdowns, and the importance of civil discourse—even when you disagree.

Key Takeaways
- Brownell's is expanding globally (now director of “Global Solutions”), offering government, LE, and international support with the Valor Program.
- Global gun culture is diverse—Switzerland and Saudi Arabia lead outside the US, but most countries don’t have America’s deep-rooted firearm rights.
- Building an AR-15 yourself helps demystify the platform, boosts confidence, and makes maintenance easier.
- US gun laws are always shifting—what starts in New York or California can ripple across the country. Stay engaged!
- Gen Z is the first generation experiencing gun violence as its leading cause of death, and digital connectivity may be impacting both academic and personal outcomes.
- Civil discourse is critical; we need to learn to “disagree without being disagreeable,” like Supreme Court justices do.
- NASA’s Artemis moon mission is bringing modern smartphones into space—future selfies from the moon could finally silence conspiracy theories and inspire a new generation.
- Political accountability matters: both sides in government shutdowns should feel the consequences, not just essential workers.

"Restraint is a skill—it's just as important to decide when not to act as it is to act decisively."Episode Summary
In this episode of The Gun Experiment, we sit down with Erick Gelhaus, a highly experienced firearms instructor with a career spanning the U.S. Army, law enforcement, and the civilian sector. We dig into everything from the evolution of use-of-force thinking, the realities of law enforcement scrutiny, decision-making under stress, and the complexities of training with shotguns and pistol-mounted optics. We also discuss responsible off-body carry, the importance of de-escalation, and why judgment and restraint are core skills for both professionals and everyday gun owners.
I share my own dry fire journey, Keith gets fired up about shotguns, and together we pull out valuable, street-applicable wisdom from Erick's decades of experience. If you’re looking to refine your mindset, boost your training, and become a more responsible gun owner, this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways
- Use of Force is Nuanced: It's not just about skill—judgment, legal knowledge, and communication with the public are equally vital. Erick’s experience in the military, law enforcement, and as an instructor shaped his holistic approach.
- Dry Fire and Regular Practice: Training consistently—even just 10 minutes a day—yields better reaction times and smoother draws.
- Red Dots and Optics: Erick shares actionable tips for faster dot acquisition, including practicing the draw in reverse and learning to accept imperfection for practical shooting.
- Decision-Making Drills: Incorporating judgment and visual processing into range training is challenging but essential. It’s not just about shooting fast, but making the right call under pressure.
- Shotgun Wisdom: The shotgun is still a powerful home defense tool—if you know your pattern, ammo, and manipulations. It’s the thinking person’s weapon, and training matters more than the platform.
- Off-Body Carry Reality: Sometimes, off-body carry is the only practical option, especially for women or in certain lifestyle scenarios. Training for it responsibly is far better than avoiding carry altogether.
- Law Enforcement Scrutiny: Public perceptions, social media, and political narratives have made police work more challenging. Transparent communication and understanding human factors are key for both officers and civilians.
- Restraint and De-Escalation: Restraint is not weakness; it’s a hard-earned skill. If you don’t fully understand a situation, disengage if possible. Avoiding situations is the ultimate win in self-defense.

"True gun culture isn't about what you own—it's about how you welcome, respect, and learn with others on the journey."Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Gun Experiment, Big Keith and Mike kick things off chatting about mushroom coffee, new gear, and some funny family moments. We have a big announcement—HSM Ammunition is now our official ammo sponsor! Most importantly, we're chopping it up with one of our favorite people in the gun industry: Chris Blau.
Chris joins us to break down what's new at SHOT Show (hint: suppressors are everywhere and 3D-printed tech is getting wild). He shares his thoughts on industry trends, his decision to step back from 1911 Syndicate, and a sneak peek at his exciting new project that fuses gun reviews with on-the-range, long-form conversations with some of his friends from the military and law enforcement.
We dive deep into the "gun guy" culture—discussing the elitism, the myths, and why it’s time to drop the gatekeeping and welcome everyone. We play a couple of rapid-fire games, hit on some hot topics in the 2A world, including the recent Minnesota shooting and SCOTUS updates on Hawaii’s “vampire” law, before closing with some well-earned levity about hot tent camping and snowblowing robots.

Key Takeaways1. SHOT Show Trends: Suppressors are the current hotness, with tons of innovation thanks to advances in 3D printing and muzzle device integration. 2. Innovations in Suppressors: Modern CNC and 3D printing allow for amazing geometric baffling, improving both performance and customization. 3. "Gun Guy" Stereotypes: Gatekeeping hurts the community. You don't need 20,000 rounds a year, night vision, or a revolver collection to be a "real" gun guy. 4. Chris’s New Project: Look for a hybrid format of live-on-range stories and long-form interviews with real-world experts—coming soon. 5. Big 2A News: We break down the Minnesota shooting, SCOTUS arguments about the Hawaii “vampire” law, and the wild hypocrisy in political circles from “The View” to Capitol Hill. 6. Winter Fun: Hot tent camping is a game-changer for the season, and AI-powered snowblowers might be the best use of robotics yet.

Slow down, think clearly, and prepare in a practical manner.Episode Summary
In this episode of The Gun Experiment, my co-host Big Keith and I sit down with Patrick Diedrich, the editorial content director for Recoil Off Grid magazine. We dive deep into the world of survival and preparedness, drawing on Patrick’s background in military reconnaissance, wilderness search and rescue, and hands-on survival training. From lessons learned in third-world countries and disaster zones to practical advice for urban survival, Patrick shares how preparation and clear-headed thinking matter far more than exotic gear or panic-driven plans. We discuss common survival myths, essential skills everyone should learn, and how to stay prepared without going overboard.

- Survival is mostly about mindset: slow down, stop and think before reacting.
- Physical fitness and basic skills (shelter, fire, water) are the true foundation of preparedness.
- Urban survival can resemble jungle survival—be observant and make choices carefully.
- Practical gear like a Bic lighter, water filter, and navigation tools often outweigh romanticized survival skills.
- Creativity and adaptability in the moment matter even more than experience.
- Digital threats and extreme weather events are some of the biggest concerns facing modern preparedness.
- The balance between preparation and living life is essential—don’t get lost in “doomsday” thinking.
- Medical and defensive skills are the most valuable in real disaster scenarios.

“Context is everything—whether you’re training to protect yourself or chasing the thrill of competition, know why you’re doing what you’re doing.”Episode SummaryIn this episode, Keith and I are joined in studio by our longtime friend Sean Martin, AKA Pink Shirt Tactical, media manager for Night Vision and pro shooter for Onsite Firearms Training. We dive deep into the world of competitive shooting, the crossover between defensive and performance skills, and how social media and gear trends impact gun culture. We talk bourbon collections, body armor, and run through some rapid-fire games testing Sean's opinions on overrated and underrated gear. We also chop up the latest 2A news, from NY anti-3D print gun legislation and USPS shipping rules, to geopolitical happenings like the Artemis moon launch and America’s defense might.

Key Takeaways1. Sean Martin achieved Grandmaster status in USPSA—shooting from concealment with his everyday carry, not a race gun. 2. There’s real value in crossing over between defensive pistol training and competitive shooting; stress inoculation and skill development happen under pressure. 3. Social media drives gear trends—like grip tape and stippling—sometimes for function, sometimes just for aesthetics. 4. Just because something’s “cool,” like compensators or aftermarket triggers, doesn’t mean it’s always necessary. 5. Bigger issues like NY’s fight against 3D printed guns and cross-state shipping highlight how politicians try (and fail) to control gun culture. 6. America's defense and technological edge are unmatched, especially with the Artemis mission and global military moves.

“There’s no substitute for pressure testing your skills—whether on the range or in life, the ability to adapt under stress is what sets you up for success.”Episode SummaryIn this episode, Big Keith and I (Mike) sit down with Matt Little aka “Gray Beard Actual”—retired Army Green Beret, former SWAT officer, USPSA grandmaster shooter, and host of “The Way is Training” podcast. We chop it up about competition shooting vs tactical defense, decision-making under stress, how to physically and mentally train for gunfights, and what key habits can help you win in both shooting and everyday life.
We swap stories on Christmas gifts (from shotgun upgrades to custom sword canes), talk about building new training routines for the New Year, and geek out on topics from gunfight decision-making to the best ways to inoculate stress.

Key Takeaways1. Competition Shooting vs. Defensive Mindset: Shooting matches are fantastic for developing hard skills, speed, accuracy, and stress inoculation, but don’t substitute for real-world tactics and decision-making under unpredictable pressure. 2. Train for Adaptation: You need a baseline of speed and proficiency before decision-making skills can shine. Task stacking and random, complex drills help you build automaticity and slow your brain down, even as you move fast physically. 3. Hard Truths About Gunfights: Decision-making under stress and understanding how to triage priorities matter more than style or strict rule-following—safety and winning require adaptability. 4. Gear and Tools: Dry-fire is king for 90% of shooters, red dots are legitimate game changers, and medical training is just as important as shooting ability. Don’t overhype the gear—focus on the fundamentals. 5. Mindset from Special Forces: Mental resiliency, disciplined task prioritization, and strategic planning are universally valuable—not just for Green Berets, but for anyone serious about self-improvement or survival.

Episode Summary
On this episode of The Gun Experiment, I sat down with Ben Dewalt of On Site Firearms Training and Tim Herron, USPSA Grandmaster and firearms instructor, for an in-depth conversation all about pistol training. We discussed philosophies on improvement, how to design performance-oriented classes, and dispelled common shooting myths and bad advice. Ben and Tim walked us through what separates good shooters from great ones, the importance of trigger management and consistency, practical drills for every skill level, and why continual learning matters. We also took a deep dive into what it takes to build a dream home range, including the must-haves and activities that make training at home both safe and effective. Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate, or advanced shooter, there’s something for you in this episode!

Key Takeaways
- Constant self-improvement is the key to advancing as a shooter—let go of perfection and embrace the process.
- The Performance Pistol Clinic is all about meeting students where they’re at and customizing drills based on their real-world needs.
- “Consistency” is the #1 attribute that separates great shooters from the rest; focus on proper, repeatable reps rather than chasing speed or metrics.
- Trigger management remains the most critical fundamental, regardless of skill level or shooting discipline.
- The myth that you can only improve at the range is debunked—dry fire and gun handling off-range are essential for skill building.
- Bad advice to watch out for: “Slow is smooth, smooth is fast”—instead, strive to be smooth and in control.
- Building a home range takes planning, safe backstops, and realistic expectations. Five acres can be enough for a high-quality range if designed well.
- For those with limited ammo or time: prioritize dry fire, short and purposeful range sessions, and focus on one high-value drill at a time (such as the Chuck Pressburg 25-yard Rundown or Bill Drill).
- Mindset, consistency, and attitude will push you past plateaus. Keep showing up!

"True awareness starts with connection—to nature, to people, and to our environment.Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Gun Experiment, we sit down with Fred Osuna, a renowned expert on advanced human tracking and anti-tracking skills. We dive deep into Fred Osuna’s background—from growing up in southern Arizona as part of the Yaqui tribe to his time in the Marine Corps and his transition to teaching tracking to elite law enforcement, military, and civilians. Fred Osuna shares the philosophy behind Greenside Training, blending indigenous wisdom and modern threat recognition, and how situational awareness, fieldcraft, and even simple games can revolutionize perception for adults and kids alike. We get actionable tips on anti-tracking, situational awareness in everyday life, and even tracking game for hunters.

War is the natural state of man—success depends on constant struggle, strength of character, and surrounding yourself with people of virtue.Episode Summary:
On this episode of The Gun Experiment, I sit down with Matt Larsen, head of the U.S. Army's combatives program, for a deep, no-B.S. discussion about guns, philosophy, AI, economics, and what it means to be a high-value man. We dive into everything from how the gun industry uses marketing strategies (just like everyone else), to the ongoing fight for Second Amendment rights and the realities of government overreach. We also chat about the rise of AI and its effects on education, the global technology race with China, and why moral character (not just money or status) truly defines a high-value individual. Finally, we tackle masculinity, the lost boy generation, and why the people you choose to surround yourself with will make or break your life.

Episode Summary
In this episode of The Gun Experiment, we sit down with Peter Tilem, Second Amendment attorney, founder of Tilem & Associates, and creator of New York Tac Defense. We chop it up over personal stories from the range, what to do (and what not to do) if you’re carrying during a traffic stop, and get deep into the legal maze that’s gun ownership in New York and New Jersey. We also unpack recent political shake-ups, like Mamdani’s impact on gun rights in NYC, and debate the “stand your ground” laws sweeping the nation. Plus, we test some top cold weather hunting gear and end on a high note with an epic Air Force One flyover. If you care about concealed carry rights, self-defense, and staying sharp as a responsible gun owner, this one’s for you.

Key Takeaways
- Gun laws are constantly changing in NY/NJ; even attorneys like Peter Tilem send “red alerts” to clients to keep up.
- There is no duty to inform in New York State during a traffic stop, but 12+ states—including Texas and New Jersey—require it (and breaking that law can land you with a felony).
- New York Tac Defense is a legal, ethical way for gun owners to get prepaid legal coverage for self-defense, even when “Second Amendment insurance” is banned.
- Stand your ground laws are both misunderstood and politicized; remember it’s about your reasonable belief and innocence until proven guilty.
- The new political landscape in NYC (think: Mamdani) means longer delays and more obstacles for law-abiding gun owners.
- Practical gear matters—Nomad Outdoor’s cold-weather hunting wear passed our test for warmth, function, and feature-rich details.

"Being prepared is about continual growth, self-reliance, and consistently expanding your knowledge across all facets of life."Episode SummaryIn this week's episode of The Gun Experiment, we welcome Scott Howell, host of the Iron Sights Podcast, for an in-depth conversation that bridges the worlds of firearms, fitness, and personal preparedness. Scott shares his journey from gym owner in San Jose, CA to a thought leader in both health and Second Amendment spaces. We cover everything from the challenges of operating a gym during COVID shutdowns to building resilience and skill through tactical training. Scott also dives into the parallels between fitness and firearms training, the importance of community, and why the responsibility of being a gun owner goes far beyond the range.
Whether you're a tactical athlete, law enforcement, or just starting to embrace self-improvement, Scott’s insights deliver real value—especially if you're working to combine physical well-being with being ready for anything life throws your way.

Key Takeaways* Hunting trips are better with good company and quality gear—Nomad’s camo bibs and layering strategy worked for Big Keith * Open carry is more than a legal question—it’s about tactical readiness and genuine responsibility. * Ammo Squared works like forced savings, helping you stock up on the calibers you actually shoot, without the hassle. * Magazine bans are starting to collapse nationally (at least in D.C.), setting hopeful precedent for other states. * AI still struggles (hilariously) with Doritos and guns—emerging tech brings both safety and privacy concerns. * Canadian gun ownership is under threat—even bolt-action rifles and shotguns aren’t safe. * Escaping to a freer state means weighing 2A rights, taxes, four seasons, land options, and local politics. * Sometimes, it’s the simple things—don’t take travel snacks, baby wipes, or mountain views for granted.

"The power of a crowd lies not just in its size, but in the perceptions it shapes."Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Gun Experiment, we sit down with Adam Swart, CEO of Crowds on Demand, for an eye-opening conversation about crowds, political demonstrations, free speech, and gun rights. Adam pulls back the curtain on his business, which specializes in orchestrating paid crowds and events for everything from political rallies to guerilla marketing stunts. We dive deep into the ethical challenges of paid protests, the influence of media, the dynamics of social movements, and the complex intersection of money, activism, and public perception.
Along the way, Adam gets candid about evolving his company’s approach, shares insights into how paid demonstrations may impact the Second Amendment narrative, and discusses the dangers of social media-fueled division in our country. We also touch on current events like campus protests, political polarization, and the responsibilities of both media and citizens when it comes to validating what we see. As always, Keith and I ask the tough questions and explore the gray areas around activism, ethics, and personal responsibility.

Key Takeaways* Crowds and paid demonstrations have a huge impact on public perception, media coverage, and the effectiveness of political campaigns. * The ethical considerations of orchestrating paid protests are complex—Adam shares how his views have evolved and how he prioritizes de-escalation and common sense. * Most large movements in history combine genuine passion and strategic funding; they're rarely purely grassroots or entirely "manufactured." * Financial anonymity in activism is often about protecting donors from cancel culture, but it can get abused, especially by bad actors or foreign interests. * The relationship between media, activism, and public manipulation is more nuanced than most people think; always approach what you see—especially protests—like an advertisement. * Social media and the 24-hour news cycle have amplified polarization and extremism, making it harder for the “silent majority” to get heard. * Adam reveals his journey from a liberal campaign organizer to an independent, pro-Second Amendment and free speech advocate. * Validation and critical thinking are essential—don’t take any public demonstration at face value, and always ask: “Is someone trying to persuade me or just create noise?”

- When hunting in changing climates, layering with quality base layers (like merino wool) and the right outerwear is absolutely essential for comfort and success.

“Responsible gun ownership, community engagement, and responsible leadership build stronger, safer communities.”Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Gun Experiment, we, sit down with our local town councilman and longtime friend, Paul Ruggerio. We kick things off with an open conversation about local politics, community development, and the impact of gun legislation in New York.
Paul pulls back the curtain on what it’s really like running for office during an election cycle, the nitty-gritty of zoning laws, the challenges of keeping small-town Main Street USA alive, and how warehouses affect property taxes and local economics. We discuss community participation in government, how to address local issues, and the role of responsible firearm ownership in our town.
The discussion takes a candid turn into the Second Amendment, where Paul shares both his personal history as a gun owner and his stance on New York’s evolving firearms laws. We also touch on the latest gun news, like open carry legislation in Florida, the surprising move by Everytown to teach gun safety, and recent victories for gun rights in Texas post offices.
As always, we sprinkle in some light-hearted moments, talk about technology and aftermarket car mods, and round out the show with hot takes on current political debates, government budgets, and the wild world of military drones.

“Showing up is important, whether it's on the range or behind the mic.”Episode Summary
Hey everyone—Mike here, alongside my co-host Big Keith! In this episode of The Gun Experiment, we faced a podcasting curveball: our scheduled guest ghosted us…for the second week in a row. Instead of letting it get us down, we embraced the theme and delivered a raw, gear-focused conversation between the two of us. We took a deep dive into plate carrier setups, home defensive mindset, rimfire PRS shooting, and the challenges and rewards in our ongoing firearms training journey.
Join us as we break down the pros and cons of different armor systems, dig into practical range drills that help sharpen your skills (even with just 50 rounds), and talk about family range days and training consistency. Whether you’re new to plate carriers, curious about competitive rimfire shooting, or just want to hear some honest takeaways from our real-world training experiences, this episode’s for you!

Key Takeaways
- Sometimes guests ghost you, but showing up and adapting is part of the journey—in the studio and on the range.
- Plate carrier setup doesn't have to break the bank. Focus on real-world application, gradual upgrades, and knowing your own needs.
- Training with purpose: even a 50-round range session can be highly productive if you focus on drills—speed, accuracy, movement, strong/support hand, and note-taking.
- Having a ritual before you shoot (stance, grip, mindset) is huge for consistency and skill transfer.
- Finding the right training cadence—like weekly or bi-weekly range sessions—accelerates progress more than high round counts alone.
- Honest conversations between buddies sometimes deliver the most relatable firearms insights.
- Even if you’re not a competition shooter, learning from those environments (like PRS rimfire stages) sharpens your own skillset.
- Family range days can get everyone involved and help reinforce safe, responsible gun ownership.

"Stay tolerant and encourage real discourse, even when the world seems divided."Episode Summary
In this episode of The Gun Experiment, Big Keith and I are joined by Matt Riker, CEO of Kings River Custom, for a raw, wide-ranging discussion on unity, division, and the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk right before the anniversary of 9/11. We don’t shy away from the tough feelings, the media’s role in fueling division, and the hard questions about political extremism, violence, and what unites (and divides) America.
We also dive into other topics to bring levity and balance—touching on recent positive 2A news out of Florida, wild stories about electric cars, military tech like the Navy’s Phalanx system, and a couple of wild news headlines that’ll make you laugh. There’s never a dull moment when Matt joins us, and we hope you’ll join the conversation.

“Protecting Americana means more than just owning American guns—it's about celebrating our history, building community, and being proud of who we are.”Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Gun Experiment, we chop it up with Eli Duckworth, head of marketing at Alchemy Custom Weaponry and a proud 1911 gun owner. We kick off with some laughs about golf, wrestling, and the Hulkster’s passing, dive into laws about losing your guns and the controversy around brandishing, and share thoughts on current events—from presidential fitness tests to Sydney Sweeney's viral ad.
Eli gives us the inside scoop on his recent trip to Colt, the legacy of case-hardened steel, and his personal connection to Colt firearms history. We also review some innovative gear like the Magna Lens shooting glasses and the Caldwell Clay Copter, and end on a wild note discussing robotic rabbits and the ethics of using pets to feed zoo animals. The episode is a mix of gun rights, American firearm history, gear reviews, and plenty of humor.

Key Takeaways* The passing of icons like the Hulkster can remind us how much these figures shape our sense of American identity—and why nostalgia matters. * Brandishing laws are a gray area; sometimes just making your firearm visible can de-escalate a situation, but the legal landscape is complicated and often varies by state. * The saga of the McCloskeys highlights the red tape and emotional toll that defensive gun owners can face, even after gubernatorial pardons. * Colt remains a pillar of Americana and firearms innovation—the company’s tradition of presentation guns and case-hardened steel connects past and present. * The Magna Lens shooting glasses bring real innovation to range safety by eliminating the classic “ear pro-glasses pinch.” * We debated the role of fitness and competition in schools, why Sydney Sweeney's marketing worked, and how media stirs controversy. * Using robotic decoys for hunting and invasive species control is the future—but when it comes to using pets as zoo food, things get morally tricky.

"Buy once, cry once: Investing in quality gear upfront can make all the difference—whether you're prepping for adventure, everyday carry, or an emergency scenario.
Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Gun Experiment, we sit down with Kevin Wexler, the international sales rep for Eberlestock—a brand renowned for innovative, modular outdoor gear, tactical backpacks, and high-performance equipment for hunting, preparedness, and shooting sports. We explored Kevin’s journey from Bay Area bookworm to self-described gear nerd and competitive shooter, and took a deep dive into choosing the right loadout for different missions, from EDC and bug-out bags to hunting and precision rifle competitions. We also got the inside scoop on Eberlestock’s modular design philosophy, discussed new releases—including the Fade collection—and shared practical advice for building your ultimate “get home” bag, truck bag, or dad bag.

"Setting personal goals, both in training and in life, fuels growth and resilience."Episode SummaryIn this episode, I was joined in the studio by Rachel Maloney from Night Fision and Glow Rhino, filling in for Big Keith, who was on vacation. We kicked things off with some fun banter about keeping up with our kids and how humbling it is to realize the next generation can run circles around us at the gym or pool.
We covered a lot of ground, starting with current happenings in the firearms industry, like the overwhelming topic of the SIG P320 and ongoing debates about product safety and consumer trust. Rachel shared her unique perspective on firearms training, emphasizing the importance of mental “software” over chasing hardware benchmarks.
On the news front, we dived into California’s ammo background check ruling, reflected on the impact of suppressor tax changes, and how new state laws keep making life challenging for responsible gun owners—especially in states like NY and CA. Rachel also gave us a deep dive on Night Fision’s new optic plate and sight system, breaking down how they’re simplifying the “co-witness” confusion for everyday defensive shooters.
For Top Gear, I reviewed the Q Sling from Flatline Fiber Co., and Rachel did a brilliant hands-on walkthrough of the new Night Fision optic plates. We laughed over a unique gin and tonic from my local farm stand, and wrapped up the show highlighting “good guy with a gun” stories, plus off-topic news like the return of the flip phone summer.

Key Takeaways* Firearms training progresses from chasing numbers to mastering mindset—the “software” matters more than split times or draw speed. * The SIG P320 controversy remains a hot topic; everyone wants closure and meaningful solutions for consumer safety. * New York and California gun owners face relentless legislative hurdles—any “win” in court (like CA’s ammo background check reversal) is met with more laws. * Responsible gun ownership includes staying vigilant in the courts and supporting organizations like SAF, GOA, and FPC. * Quality gear matters: the Flatline Fiber Co. Qela Sling offers an intuitive, minimalist design, while Night Fision’s new plate-and-sight combos make the co-witness game simpler and more reliable. * Nutrition and self-care for shooters is just as important—whole foods, real meals, and planning ahead support both physical and shooting performance. * Real-life “good guy with a gun” situations highlight the importance of training—ownership doesn’t equal skill. * The next generation is rediscovering the value of less screen time (flip phone summer!) and more real-world presence.

"Don’t show up to class—or any opportunity—just to do what you always do. Be ready to learn and adapt."Episode SummaryOn this episode of The Gun Experiment, we are joined in studio by gun industry pros and instructors Ben Dewalt and Jared Reston.

We tackle thorny industry news like the Sig P320 controversy and Streamlight lawsuits, while also discussing the importance of instructor integrity, the Tim Kennedy Stolen Valor uproar, and the risks and realities of running multiple remote jobs.

“Skills are the real superpower. From shooting under night vision to rendering medical aid, what you know is just as valuable as what you own.”Episode SummaryIn this action-packed episode of The Gun Experiment, we sit down with Sam Houston—military veteran, UAV operator, and night vision specialist with Greenline Tactical and Warrior Poet Society. Sam takes us on a deep dive into his unique career path, starting as a Navy crewman on P3C Orion surveillance aircraft before becoming a key player in civilian and military night vision, UAV operations, and advanced firearms training.
We discuss the evolution of surveillance technology, the exhilarating experience of aerial gunnery courses (including shooting AR-15s from helicopters!), and Sam’s frontline insights into the civilian application of drones. The conversation highlights “freedom training,” why access to tactical skillsets and top-tier gear matters for civilians, and the critical importance of medical preparedness.
Sam also shares night vision gear recommendations, budget tips for getting started, training drills for new owners, and what it’s really like to work as both operator and instructor. Plus: gear picks and why walking the walk with ongoing education is essential for gun owners in 2024.

"Don’t settle for 'just good enough' when it comes to liberty."Episode SummaryIn this lively episode of The Gun Experiment, we are joined by returning guests Ben Dewalt and Rachel Maloney for an in-depth discussion on current Second Amendment issues, gun culture, and the evolving landscape of firearms legislation in America. The group tackles timely topics like the suppressor movement, state reciprocity agreements, and the Rhode Island assault weapons ban—unpacking how such regulations impact everyday gun owners.
The conversation also veers into broader societal issues, comparing limits on firearms to other forms of personal risk, like driving and unhealthy lifestyle choices. The hosts advocate for the value and resurgence of practical trades, such as gunsmithing, stressing the importance of skills that can’t be shipped by drone or replaced by AI.
Rachel Maloney offers insights into the intersection of design and firearms, while Ben Dewalt shares poignant anecdotes from the front lines of the 2A community. The team discusses the impact of financial discrimination against the gun industry, how to support pro-2A businesses, and the need for unity and resilience in the face of increasing restrictions.
Trending news stories—ranging from the LA riots and the media’s role, to the latest on area 51 and viral stories from the gun world—keep the conversation dynamic but always rooted in the essential message: Stand up for your rights, stay informed, and seek out community.

"Style, substance, and the spirit of the 1911— the reason it will never goes out of fashion."
Episode Summary
In this episode of The Gun Experiment, we sit down with Eli Duckworth—a marketing powerhouse, 1911 enthusiast, and a man with iconic style. Together, they dive deep into Eli’s fascination with classic firearms, especially the 1911, and how he’s channeled his passion into a successful career with Alchemy Custom Weaponry. The conversation flows from Eli's unique Gen Z approach to vintage style, his unlikely journey from a non-gun household into the firearms industry, and his growing influence within gun culture on Instagram.
We take a deep dive into the crucial role of American history in gun ownership, the legendary legacy of the 1911 pistol, and why classic style (in guns, clothing, cars, and accessories) will always stand the test of time. Listeners get a behind-the-scenes look at Eli’s relationship with the legendary Ken Hackathorn, hear stories of historic firearms, the art of collectible watches, and the meaning of true customer service in the high-end firearms market. This episode is a celebration of American gun culture, enduring style, and the people who keep its traditions alive.

"Don’t underestimate the power of the Second Amendment community."Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Gun Experiment, we are joined by returning guest Kurt Sills, cofounder of Blue Alpha Gear, for an engaging and often humorous roundtable discussion. We kick it off with Keith's maiden voyage using a leather shoulder rig for his 1911, sparking a broader chat about the evolution and challenges of everyday carry (EDC) gear, concealment, and holster innovation.
Kurt offers an inside look at Blue Alpha’s ongoing efforts to innovate products —especially their focus on lightweight and modular belts, accessories, and the surprising lack of updates in EDC solutions. The trio also tackles recent Second Amendment news, highlighting the small but significant legislative victories around the Hearing Protection Act and how public activism is moving the needle.
With current events on the table, they dissect New York’s fresh wave of restrictive gun legislation, spotlight Oklahoma’s expanded defensive display rights, and weigh the real-world impacts of these laws on self-defense. Lighter moments include racing conversations about the WienerMobile at the Indy 500, wild Florida man antics, and speculation about the CIA using Star Wars fan sites for covert communication.
Throughout, the episode explores themes of innovation, community activism, self-reliance, and the constant battle for free speech on and off campus.

Key Takeaways Lack of EDC Innovation: Despite huge advances in battle and duty belts, concealed carry gear innovation has plateaued due to the limitations of compatibility with daily wear and the industry’s slow movement. * Legislative Update: The Hearing Protection Act advanced, largely thanks to robust grassroots action—showing activism and calls to legislators matter. * New York Gun Legislation: NY continues to push aggressive anti-gun laws (including 50-cal bans and forced buybacks), contrasting sharply with states like Oklahoma, which recently expanded the rights of defensive firearm display. * Importance of Community: Even those in restrictive states should stay engaged and support national efforts; collective activism can eventually result in broader freedoms. * Gear Recommendations: Blue Alpha’s EDC belt is lightweight, reliable, and good enough for daily wear—plus new accessories and medical pouches are on the way. Their discreet fanny pack for subcompacts is a functional, niche tool that’s winning converts. * The Role of Free Speech:* A healthy gun community—and society at large—requires a free, open exchange of ideas and the ability to challenge the echo chamber, both in higher ed and daily dialogue.

- Bridging Communities: The gap between airsoft enthusiasts and “real steel” (firearms) communities is shrinking. Many start in airsoft and transition to firearms, while experienced shooters use airsoft to broaden their tactical repertoire.
- Safety First: American Milsim places a strong focus on safety, integrity, and community, with comprehensive safety briefings and strict event protocols.
- Immersive Experiences: American Milsim’s linear storylines and faction-based gameplay allow players to engage in ongoing campaigns that simulate modern conflict scenarios, adding unique depth and excitement.

Episode SummaryIn this lively episode of The Gun Experiment’s “Chopping It Up,” we welcome back personal friend and local FFL, Frank Riess of Wallkill River Small Arms, for an insightful conversation mixing firearms history, Second Amendment news, and personal anecdotes. The trio kicks off with stories about teaching kids about taxes, memorable shooting trips, and the hazards of dealing with modern deliveries. Frank brings his deep knowledge to the table with a fascinating segment on the National Firearms Act (NFA) and Gun Control Act of 1968, revealing the surprising history behind firearm restrictions.
The discussion shifts to timely current events: legislative battles over the Hearing Protection Act and Short Act, issues with "fudd" politicians, and the importance of citizen advocacy. They also dissect recent incidents of gun misuse in the news—including the ethics and responsibilities of gun ownership and self-defense situations. Frank unveils his custom Kings River 1911, offering a rare firsthand review and comparison to other high-end 1911s. The conversation wraps up with a humorous but pointed look at political showmanship and double standards, urging the gun community to stay vigilant and get involved.
Listen for a mix of education, opinion, laughter, and practical advice for gun owners and anyone passionate about personal freedom.

Key Takeaways Legal Protection is Critical: * In New York, gun owners need more than good intentions—they need immediate, local legal defense. Prepaid legal services like NY TAC Defense fill the gap left by banned insurance plans. * Court Decisions Matter: * Recent appellate decisions on age-based restrictions could set the stage for nationwide change. The right to bear arms—regardless of age (18+)—is being hotly debated and shaped by ongoing litigation. * Responsible Gun Ownership: * Safe storage, constant awareness, and legal prep are non-negotiable. Irresponsibility puts freedoms at risk for everyone—not just the individual. * Political Hypocrisy Persists: * Whether it’s politicians flouting laws or celebrities’ over-the-top virtue signaling, gun owners are often left to navigate double standards—while also being selectively targeted. * AI is Changing the Game: * ChatGPT and other AI tools are streamlining legal and research tasks, but can also introduce errors. Being polite to AI may actually yield better results—a surprisingly human lesson for the digital age. * Community & Support Matter:* * Listeners are encouraged to connect, comment, leave reviews, and support podcast sponsors—helping keep the conversation going and the lights on.

The one thing I know is things would be a lot worse without the Second Amendment Foundation. Not only are they great partners to us, they’re also the single most effective pro-gun rights group in the country and they’re fighting our battles in the courts day after day. If you are not a member, I’m asking you to consider going to SAF.org and joining the fight today.

Hey guys! I couldn't find where on spotify to leave a review from this episode, so I dropped it here.
I've been listening since day 1, your guests just keep getting better every episode so great job! That being said, this has been my favorite episode hands down! I have actually almost applied to be a warden in my state twice now, with the emphasis in trying to talk our dnr into starting a canine unit, hearing john talk about doing just that has made me want to do it even more now. Once I'm closer to retiring from what I'm doing now, I'm definitely going to do it. So thank you for bringing him on to talk!
P.S.
Drink recommendation....have you ever tried a "Long Drink"? It's a drink that came from Finland when they hosted the Olympics and wanted a national drink to give the athletes (go figure now they give them cardboard beds to dissuade fraternization lol) that is gin, juniper berries, grapefruit, and carbonation. They are so refreshing and light. Everyone I have given one to has said it is the best thing they have tried in a long time, so next time you're at the store pick up a few cans to try out during the show. Thanks again keep up the great work, and sorry you live in a commie state and can't hunt suppressed like I do.

He would eventually go on to become a Game Warden for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. In time, he helped develop the department's first sniper team, as well as their elite tactical unit designed to take down Marijuana grow sites set up by the drug cartel deep within our countries public lands. On top of that, he is also a NY Times best selling author and his book, Hidden War, tells the tale of the special operations game wardens who are reclaiming America’s wildlands from the drug cartel; It is my pleasure to welcome John Nores to the show.
II. Run and Gun
III. Outro
I found John's book fascinating, because so many people are oblivious to what is really going on in this country. His book is one example where we are being invaded in ways that nobody would be talking about if people like him didn’t shine a light on these important topics.
If you are listening to the show and want to get the whole story run out and get the book. It’s called Hidden War and is available on Amazon.

I. Interview
Today’s guest has worked in various capacities within the firearms industry for the past decade. Specializing in sales, client relations and marketing, he currently serves as the Senior Development and Marketing Officer at Gun Owners of America. He is also the co-host of the State of the Second Podcast; please welcome John Fahrner to the show.
- Tell us how you first got into firearms? (How did you get into the Industry?)
- GOA is hosting the first annual GOALS event. Tell us what the goal (haha) of the event is? I'm also particularly interested in hearing about the technology and innovation panel discussion. (M - You are the moderator of this panel, what would you like to accomplish in this role?)
- A lot of your time in the gun industry was spent dealing with retail products. What made you decide to join Gun Owners of America? How has working for a pro gun lobby organization been different from retail? What are some of the unique challenges in this part of the industry?
- With all the challenges in appealing to pro 2A Americans through marketing and social media strategies. What should we pay attention to being restricted sooner, SEO and social media being restricted for firearms industry folks or the same style restrictions on the individual users? Who will be banned first, the industry or the people?
- You co-created the State of the Second podcast for GOA. What was the catalyst for its creation? Any particularly memorable guests or conversations?
What have been some of the challenges you have faced creating this type of content?
- Where do you see the 2A industry in 10 years? You think we will be over this next hump of individual state challenges (assault weapons bans, constitutional carry, background checks on ammo, and private sales.)
- Where can people find you

- What gun would you buy if money was no object?
- If you could have a drink with one person living or dead who would it be?
- Favorite caliber?
- Favorite hobby not gun related?
- If you could have one superpower what would it be?
- All hell breaks loose, is it better to be armed or trained?
- Is it better to be loved or feared?
- Rifle, pistol or shotgun
- You’re in the worst scenario imaginable, who do you want to have your back other than your spouse.
III. Let’s Mix It Up
Today on Let’s Mix It Up, we are going to discuss GOA's “No Compromise” Philosophy and why it’s important in the fight for the second amendment.
The GOA bills itself as the country's only “No Compromise” gun lobby organization. Can you tell us where that philosophy came from?
I understand this idea at face value, but can you give an example where another organization might compromise where GOA wouldn’t?
IV. Outro
John, thank you for coming on and discussing Gun Owners of America and all that they are doing as an organization to help bolster our second amendment rights. It’s nice to know that there is a “no compromise” organization such as GOA fighting for all of us in the firearms community. I’m a fan of the podcast and I love that you started GOAL and can’t wait to make it out there in the future. John, keep doing what you’re doing because you and your team are definitely moving the cultural needle in gun culture.

Hoodlum’s Gun Bench • 2 months ago As always a great episode! Definitely cool with the P365’s. Now you both have to bring them down to Texas and come run and gun with me in this Texas heat! Stay safe gents!

Wildchilds • 4 months ago The EV vehicle is great, but has many draw backs. I feel the same way about gun training and storage. Gun training is a great thing, but I don't want the government forcing it. Same for a safe, or EV.

I. Interview
Today’s guest had a dream of becoming a police officer and at a young age was able to successfully chase down that dream. After a long career and a myriad of roles, he would eventually retire and go on to start his own training company. To this day he remains a student of his craft and is passionate about preparing good Americans to be self-reliant defenders. Please welcome David Acosta Jr. from Allegiance Defense Solutions.
- You grew up with the dream of becoming a police officer. How old were you when you knew that police work was your calling and what was it that drew you to the career?
- You have talked about over your policing career you felt that victims “outsourced their protection.” That phase really resonated with me. Can you expand on what exactly you mean by that? (Growing up in the northeast does he think people do not choose to protect themselves because of the gun restrictions?)
- You held many positions throughout your law enforcement career including: patrol, low profile investigations, narcotics and undercover work, federal task force, warrant task force, fugitive task force, academy instructor, and SWAT. If you had to choose what was your favorite role in your career? (Why? Stories?)
- Given your time in New Haven I have to know who has the best Pizza? Sally’s, Bar, Modern, or Frank Pepe? Have you been to Louis Lunch where the birth of the hamburger is claimed?
- You have some great content on your instagram regarding combatives. If we were to take someone with zero skills and wanted to make them into a formidable asset what would the recipe be? (Physical fitness, guns, blade work, grappling, striking, medical training, etc)
- How can people protect themselves from paying for subpar training? What should we be on the lookout for when researching training partners?
- Tell everyone where they can find you online.
I want to get to Run and Gun, but before we do, let’s talk about Ridgeline Defense.

Without further ado I’d like to introduce Jeremy Randall from Randalls Family Firearms in Washington State, Peter Tilem from Tilem and Associates and Alan Gottlieb from the Second Amendment Foundation.
I want to get to Run and Gun, but before we do, I’m blown away by just how bad the economy has gotten and how expensive things are.
