Carrying weapons and supplies in your Vehicle

              Today on The Arms Room we rounded out 2016 by talking about the use of weapons from the vehicle and what some of the neccassary supplies are that you should have in said vehicle. Some good options for carry while in a vehicle may seem taboo to some people but appendix carry and even cross draw are viable options. It is also important to keep in mind where you store your weapons if they are staying in the vehicle and what can happen to them in the event of an accident or wreck. Also keep in mind that just because you lock your car doors doesnt mean your weapon is secured, you may want to take a look at some type of vehicle weapon safe for storage. Its been a good year for The Arms Room thank you to all our listiners and be sure to stick with us into 2017. Join us for our first show of the New Year as we talk about our New Years resolution to  get everyone a dam medical kit!

Gun Store Myths!!!

              Today on another exciting episode of The Arms Room we explored the world of gun store myths and made some people really sad. At the start of our show Mason shared his recent expierence shooting the Tuscon 2 Gun Action Match. Competition is a great way to hone your skills andhave some fun at the same time. Some of the highlights from todays episode include the myth that just pumping a shotgun will scare the bad guy away, women can only carry small guns and my personal favorite is taht all gun store salesmen that were in the military know everythig there is to know about firearms.
