Is This The New Normal? Medical Coronavirus Discussion (And We Talk About Guns!) David is again joined by his wife, Sandy, who is a Registered Nurse, for a medical Coronavirus discussion. Talking points include: whether the US Government's response to COVID-19 was overbearing and brash, or sensible and calculated, or somewhere in between; Whether wearing face masks will forever more be the new normal for western society; Precautions we can all take to stack the odds in favor of our health. Oh and we also talk about guns!
In the fist part of the episode, David broaches a question that almost any firearm enthusiast secretly wants to ask their spouse or significant other: How do you REALLY feel when new guns just happen to appear at home?

The End of the World Doesn't Have the Zombies You Prepped Years For We go away for a few weeks and the whole world goes to crap! Not in a million years did we think we'd be recording an episode from quarantine during a deadly global viral pandemic... but here we are and there you are, holed up in your underground bunker, surrounded by stockpiles of hand sanitizer, ammo, and toilet paper. Ah, toilet paper. The unexpected commodity of 2020. You can't wipe your butt with gold bars, now can you?
David and Mark get together under the most surreal of circumstances for the show you didn't know you needed, until now. They talk about everything from how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected their daily lives, a few new firearm purchases, how hindsight is probably not the best strategy for prepping, what they think the future holds for the firearms industry, and why only you can keep Cory @ Squared Away Customs from turning into an emaciated, underworked, male prostitute. Well damn, maybe there WILL be zombies after all.

The Edgy and Precious First Episode of 2020 David and Mark are BACK! We know you missed us and we totally missed you guys as well. But we're back after an extended holiday break for the first episode of 2020 where we get right up to the very edge of some precious material. Don't worry, it's not creepy and our lawyers won't send you a Cease and Desist letter if you disagree with us. Maybe.
We do some quick catching up, and go over a high-level look at some of the new guns and gear that debuted at this year's SHOT Show. Oh, and we talk about Creepy Uncle T a little too. Because he deserves it.

Going to a 2A Rally Soon? Don't be THAT Guy! This episode is NOT for you, but it IS for someone you know! David goes solo and maybe a little rogue and drops some solid advice for anyone planning to attend a big Second Amendment rally, especially anytime soon in... say... Washington, DC. If you've ever paid attention to how the media and gun control advocacy groups FEAST on the worst possible representatives of gun ownership at these events, this episode might help the people you know avoid being one of them.
Be sure to share this one on your social media and, if you're feeling bold, tag a few people that you know ought to follow some of this advice!

Your Gun Is Trying To Tell You Something. Are You Listening? When you shoot, your handgun is trying to tell you something. Are you listening to it? David talks about pushing himself past the point of failure on the range and what he learned about his shooting abilities as a result, and Mark fills us in on his recent attendance at a Glock Armorer's Class.
If you've ever wondered where the "thumbs forward" modern combat grip originated, or questioned how to choose the right combination of grip inserts, back straps and other components to fit you as a shooter, you might be surprised at what we discuss in this one.

Lifestyle Changes of the Woke AF Recent events in the news may have started you thinking about carrying a gun, or maybe carrying a gun more, or getting more training, or different kinds of training, or carrying medical gear with you. All of these things are what we mean by Lifestyle Changes of the Woke AF.
Join David and Sandy as they talk about approaching life once the bliss of ignorance is gone and a new awareness begins to take over. Once you've seen the world for dangerous place it really is, certain changes become logical and necessary. It isn't convenient or pleasant, but it doesn't make you weird or paranoid either.

The Assault on El Paso, Dayton, and Individual Liberties. August 2019 has seen two tragic assaults on crowds of innocent people by crazed mass-murderers, and the predictable assault on freedom and liberty by the salacious media and power-hungry politicians who will do anything to keep themselves fat, happy, and well paid.
In this episode we discuss the tragic El Paso, Texas Wal Mart shooting as well as the Dayton, Ohio shootings which both occurred the first weekend of this month.
We also catch up on Mark's travels to Triggrcon, ZEV Technologies, and Aero Precision in Washington State last month.

AAR of Episode #52 with Kevin Dixie Episode Summary In this episode we dissect the issues of race relations inside of the Second Amendment Community, why it is relevant to ALL gun owners, and what we as a group should be doing to focus on the common denominator -- the Right to defend ourselves from acts of aggression -- and stop being divided by man-made differences.
We are starting the After Action Review (AAR) series by focusing on Episode #52 with Kevin Dixie of No Other Choice firearms training and the Aiming For The Truth initiative. Each AAR is a chance to discuss the knowledge shared by a guest Subject Matter Expert on a preceding episode and dive deeper into the issues shared by that SME.

Dave "Boon" Benton and Bill Orndorf on Vehicle Defense Concepts for Civilians and LEO David and Mark are excited to bring you this conversation with Dave "Boon" Benton and Bill Orndorf about Vehicle Defense concepts for both civilians and Law Enforcement Officers. Commonly called VCQB, which is perhaps a misnomer, this episode explores the art of fighting from within and around a vehicle and how it's more relevant to your life than you might think.
About Dave "Boon" Benton Boon likely needs no introduction. He is a US Marine Corps veteran, has a combined 24 years serving in specialized teams and leadership roles in the military, law enforcement, protective security, and intelligence community. He has held many positions on various teams from assaulter, sniper, breacher, tactical medic, team leader, and instructor.
Perhaps more recognizably for many of our listeners, Boon is one of the warriors that fought to protect the the US Diplomatic Post and CIA Annex in Benghazi, Libya in September of 2012. The commitment and bravery of Boon and his brothers in arms was chronicled in the book “13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi” and also the movie, “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi”.
About Bill Orndorf Bill is one of the founding partners of ShootingClasses.com. He is a former Deputy Sheriff with the Brevard County, Florida, Sheriff’s Office where he worked both patrol and in the Criminal Investigation Division. He is a NRA certified Firearms Instructor and a member of the Defensive Marksmanship Instructor Group.

What Motivates YOU? With Ian Strimbeck of Rune Nation In this episode, David and Mark are joined by Ian Strimbeck of Rune Nation to discuss the things that do, and should, motive each of us to be better shooters, teachers, students, Second Amendment advocates, and protectors. As you listen we hope you think about what fuels YOU in your pursuits, and we hope that you will contact us after the show and share your own stories with us. We might just bring you on as a guest in the future!
About Ian Strimbeck and Rune Nation
"My name is Ian Strimbeck and I am a veteran of the United States Marine Corps where I conducted training to host nation forces in small-unit tactics as an Infantry Rifleman. During that time I attained experience in combat and security operations and held every position in a fire team from SAW Gunner to Team Leader. I've had the opportunity to have been in multiple high-tension environments during my time in the military and therefore bring back what I've learned to you.
Runenation is a consulting and education company specializing in the constant growth of the multidisciplinary tactician. Too often in the "gun world," you see individuals who are drawn to a singular tool in lieu of looking at the bigger picture. It isn't solely about the gun, blade, grappling, striking, medical, fitness, or verbal acuity. It's a constantly evolving skillset that you put a varying amount of effort into throughout your life."

Situational Awareness! Hot on the heels of Episode 24 with William Aprill, David and Mark are rejoined by their friend, previous show guest, Jordan Linscheid, and talk about Situational Awareness and Col. Cooper's Color Codes. This is a subject that the guys have been giving a lot of serious thought to since the talk with Mr. Aprill and they dive in and peel back the layers of what it means to each of them.
Jordan is also freshly back from a tour of duty in Chiraq (Chicago, Illinois) and discusses how HE used situational awareness while traveling unarmed (because Chicago's government is coruppppppt) and how individual baselines affect a person's sensitivity to what is going on around them.

William Aprill of Aprill Risk Consulting on The UNTHINKABLE This might be our most important episode on mindset yet. We sit down with renowned clinical expert on violent criminals, mental health professional William Aprill, and he explains why good people often fail to prepare adequately for encountering EVIL people by failing to understand them and what they are capable of doing.
William Aprill explains that violent criminals don't think like you, don't value the things you do, aren't motivated by what motivates you, and consequently aren't you. Failing to recognize that ahead of time and preparing your response can mean injury or DEATH.
About William Aprill: William Aprill is a licensed mental health professional with over 15 years experience across the continuum of care. He presently maintains a private practice and consultancy specializing in post-traumatic interventions and other disciplines.
William is a former deputy sheriff (Orleans Parish, LA, Criminal Sheriff’s Office) and Special Deputy US Marshal (Eastern District of Louisiana). He is a decorated competitive shooter and has taught civilian, law enforcement, and military personnel in various fighting skills since 1990.
William maintains an active schedule both as student and teacher, having been instructor-rated by several top-tier trainers and studying under many of the most influential members of the combative arts community.
Under the auspices of Aprill Risk Consulting, William has presented his material on violent criminals and their decision-making, defensive incident aftermath, mindset development and defensive preparedness locally and nationally, including at the Annual Conference of the International Association of Law Enforcement Firearms Instructors (IALEFI), Rangemaster Tactical Conference, Tactical Response Alumni Weekend, and at Paul-E-Palooza, the memorial conference and fundraiser for the family of the late Paul Gomez.

Randy Harris on Low Light Training, Tactics and Gear. ALL THE LUMENS!
Firearms and tactics instructor Randy Harris rejoins us from Episode 1 and we talk about gun-fighting in low light conditions. Randy walks us through some of what he trains his students in his classes, we discuss tactics and we talk about gearing up for gun fights in less than ideal lighting conditions. Statistically more fights happen between 6:00PM and 6:00AM than the rest of the day! Are you ready for it if the fight comes to you?
About Randy Harris: Randy Harris is an instructor with Suarez International. He has 19 years experience working in the shooting industry, is an NRA certified instructor and has had articles published in several defense oriented internet newsletters and publications. He has been a practitioner at the National Tactical Invitational and has been a presenter at the Rangemaster Tactical Conference.
A recent student had this to say about Randy:
"Randy Harris is a subject matter expert that is teaching right in his wheel house. Randy is a nice guy who does not let his ego get involved in the class and what he is doing. He is probably the best firearms teacher that you have not heard of, and he is better than many you have heard of."

Church Safety and Security Teams
David and Mark speak with guest, William, about establishing an All-Hazards response team and protocol for places of worship. William is a retired US Navy SEAL who now serves as the Director of Campus Security for a large church and attached private school in Middle Tennessee.
This episode is packed full of no-nonsense, practical answers to some challenging questions. We hope that it helps you inspire conversation and improved safety at your own church, synagogue, temple or place of worship. Be sure to view the show notes or visit our website for more resources related to this topic.
About William: * We are only using William's first name partially for the sake of operational security and also to establish some separation between his role as a Subject Matter Expert and his day job working for his church. The leadership team at his church was very supportive of him joining us and hope that this makes other congregations safer, but they are obviously not in the business of providing security consultation to other organizations. * William is the Director of Campus Security for a large (5,000+ members) church and private school in Middle Tennessee. His security career began with 20-years in the US Navy as a SEAL and as a Master EOD Technician (bomb tech). * Additionally, he served as the Vice President for Security and Emergency Preparedness at the Los Angeles Dodgers for multiple seasons, served as the Deputy Director for the largest regulatory program within the Dept. of Homeland Security overseeing the security for over 450 federalized airports, and as a firearms and tactics instructor at the Institute of Police Science, Metropolitan DC Police Department. * William holds a Bachelor of Science in Aviation Management from Southern Illinois University, was selected to pilot the first Transportation Leadership Program in 2010 at the University of Southern California's Center for Risk and Economic Analysis of Terrorism Events, and is a Certified Protection Professional (CPP) with the American Society for Industrial Security, International.
Episode Resources: 1. http://www.carlchinn.com
Carl Chinn's website exists to help Houses of Worship and Faith-Based Organizations (FBO's) recognize the need for intentional security and to provide simple concepts for starting or improving security programs. The "Deadly Force History" section is where Carl keeps a log of deadly force events at Faith Based Organizations, the number of which is staggeringly high.

FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) has published a report entitled "Engaging Faith-Based and Community Organizations: Planning Considerations for Emergency Managers".
- https://thomrainer.com/2018/01/new-normal-church-security/
While not directly mentioned in the episode, this was a reference item that David used in preparation for the discussion. This article discusses some of the resistance to security measures by the "vocal minority" in some congregations, and also some of the reasons why so many churches are adopting security programs.

Tiffany Johnson and Aqil Qadir on Widening the 2A Tent.
(Diversity and Inclusion in the Firearms Community)
David sits down with the lovely, armed and responsibly dangerous Ms. Tiffany Johnson, Esq. of the FrontSightPress blog, and her partner Aqil Qadir of Civilians Safety Academy, to talk about diversity and inclusion in the Second Amendment community. Joined by David's wife for her first-ever podcast appearance, the group discusses how the firearms community is often its own worst enemy in terms of welcoming others to the fold.
They also take to task the NRA for its questionable marketing tactics and lack of ownership for past mistakes. Listeners may be interested to learn that many of the United States' gun laws have historically-verifiable racial beginnings. What role did the NRA play in them? Listen and find out. You might be surprised!
We can't thank Tiffany and Aqil enough for placing their trust in us to come onto the show and talk about an issue that so many shy away from. We hope that you enjoy the conversation as much as we did. We certainly left with two extraordinary new friends as a result.
About Tiffany Johnson:
Tiffany is a “late bloomer” who underwent a 180-degree-conversion in the world of firearms. She grew up subscribing to common fears and misconceptions about guns and gun owners. After college, she reluctantly enrolled in a Rangemaster handgun safety course, and she was hooked.
In addition to being mentored by Tom and Lynn Givens and other Rangemaster instructors, Tiffany has also trained under Jim Higginbotham, John Farnam, Craig Douglas, Massad Ayoob, Jeff Gonzales, Marshall Luton, and several respected veterans of the self-defense community.
She is member of the NRA and the Second Amendment Foundation, and she has earned instructor credentials from the State of Tennessee, the State of Mississippi, the National Rifle Association, Massad Ayoob Group, and Rangemaster (Advanced Instructor Certification).
Tiffany is also a lawyer and a teacher, teaching college courses at the University of Memphis where she coordinates their legal studies program. Prior to starting her own business as a freelance legal writer and researcher, she practiced personal injury and civil rights law.
About Aqil Qadir:
Aqil is the founder and lead instructor of Citizens Safety Academy. His background as a firearms instructor started at age 12, teaching urban youth in his father’s gun club.
He followed in his dad’s footsteps, becoming an NRA Certified Instructor at the age of 22. Together they have been teaching Handgun Carry Permit classes since 1993.
Aqil has over 20 years of law enforcement experience, and more than half of that time was spent as a police firearms instructor. Since leaving law enforcement, his passion has been teaching responsible citizens how to protect themselves and their families.

Traveling While Armed. It's Time for Vacation!
The Summer months are here and for many of us that means traveling for vacation! David and Mark discuss the ins and outs of traveling while armed, share their personal experiences of flying with guns and dealing with the TSA, and driving across state lines with firearms.
As always we want to remind our listeners that this podcast and the statements made within it do not constitute legal advice. You should always research, for yourself, the gun laws in the states and towns that you are visiting before going armed. Likewise, you should always be cognizant of the laws that relate to specific modes of travel (planes, trains, buses, ships, etc.) and to the venues that you will be visiting.
A quick call to local law enforcement in the area where you will be staying can typically yield the answer to basic questions, and a multitude of research options exist on the Internet as well.

David and Mark chat with their friends and fellow shooters, Brad and Jordan, about what it means to each of them to be an average armed American Citizen. They discuss why they started carrying a handgun for their self defense, what kind of gun they carry, and how often they carry.
The guys also talk about the Wednesday, March 14th anti-gun protest "Walk Outs" in schools around America. Is it really an effective form of protest if you can't articulate what your stance on the issue is? And can you really claim it's spontaneous grass roots activism lead by our kids when significant money and resources are being pumped into it by the usual suspects?
Of interest, an article that David mentions briefly in this episode while talking about following the trail of money can be found here:

David, Mark and Dennis interview special guest and self-defense trainer Ian Strimbeck of Runenation LLC. In this episode we talk about picking the right handgun for carry, how every situation isn't always a problem for guns, what it means to be a multi-disciplinary tactician, and why you should seek to learn a variety of life-saving skills as an armed citizen.
Ian not only shares a ton of knowledge with us, but also answers several listener questions!
Also in this episode: Mark tells us about the time he and a co-worker took some training and got into a fight with knives inside of a car and destroyed it, and David calls out gun-counter jockeys who foist ridiculously incompatible handguns off on first-time buyers.
We even talk momentarily about color-filling the engraving on your handgun slide just to make sure we alienate everyone possible!
