Preparing For The Unexpected

Today, we're talking about the realities of recent events and what we're all actually training and preparing for. Think of it like a bit of a continuation from last week's show - prepare for rants.

The Anti-Gun Hollywood Culture

Today was a great show about freedom and how we are losing it. We had our friend Mark P. on the show to talk with us about some of his views on Hollywood anti-gun culture and how we can help prevent them from supporting the anti gun lobbyist. Mark also shared with us his views on stress in competition and how we induce it as shooters. We also shared our views on how America is in a downward spiral and that we as American citizens are allowing this to happen. Thoes of you that may be wondering what you can do to prevent our loss of freedom... look up Independence Training online and enroll in some classes. Be sure to join us next show to hear from Jake of Hexmag about magazine selection and what parts make up a good magazine.  

Training Journals and real AAR's

Today we took the first part of our show to stop and reflect on our fallen brothers and sisters who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Don't forget what Memorial Day is all about, but have a good time and exercise the freedom they fought and died for. Then we moved on to Training Journals and what they can do for you. Take notes during training to ensure maximum retention of the information. Finally we covered what a proper after action review is and what exactly it can do for you in training. Be sure to join us next show to hear from Mark Perez about anti-gun Hollywood and how it is negativly effecting our society. 

Real world Medical Expertise

Today we had Rebecca, Alison and Ryan on the show to share with us their different perspectives on medical training and its application in the real world. We got some very different insights about aspects of medical training in different environments. Rebecca shared her perspective coming from the civilian side of medical training and Ryan shared some of his military experiences and how they differ from his civilian experience. Alison informed us about the more clinical side to real world medicine. Finally Glen ranted about the latest thing he doesn't agree with for who knows how long. Be sure to join us next show to hear from Mike Keena about how to be a badass while still living a normal life.

Real EDC

Today on The Arms Room we talked about EDC and what that really means. Strapping a pistol on your hip and walking around town because it makes you feel big is not EDC. EDC is all about having the tools you need at any given time to survive and become an asset. We went over what Glen, John and I carry for our EDC and we noticed that there are a lot of similarities between what we carry. Some common themes include lights, pistols, keys and medical supplies. Be sure to join us next show to hear about emergency medicine from several different perspectives.

Shotgun Myths

Today we were graced with Rebecca's presence on the show and truly blessed with Glen's lack of presence on the show. We were supposed to spend the show chatting about shotguns but without Glen here to hurt us we had some freedom as to the topic. Shotguns are some of the least understood weapon systems in the world today. There are way too many myths about their use and it's difficult to separate them from fact. Shotguns are NOT a point and click interface, you do have to aim a shotgun. Be sure to join us next show to hear about range bags and what you should put in them.

Shooting Competitions

Today we welcomed Danielle on the show to talk with us about Competitive shooting. Danielle has been involved in the shooting sports for 3 years now and has competed in a wide range of competitions. She talked with us about whats its like being a woman in a male dominated world of shooting sports as well as how she got her start in the shooting world. Glen also shared a few of his experiences shooting competition and his thoughts on competitive shooting as a way to hone your skills. Be sure to join us next show to hear from John and I about shotguns and some of the myths surrounding their use.
