Derek The Fuel Guy

He started off by dissapointing us with tales of cars not blowing up when they get shot and then started dropping some knowldge on us aboutfuel.

Beware the ATF

                  Today on the Arms Room we had our good friend Shawn of The Tactical Medic on the show to share his experience with the ATF. Shawn was the owner of Cavelry Arms, a weapon manufacturer that specialized in plastics. Shawn was the victim of the attention of the ATF and as a result was screwed over by unlimited rescources of the government. Shawn gave his advice to anyone involved in the firearms industry and that is lawyer up when the ATF comes knocking. Be sure to join us next show to hear from Derek teh fuel guy about some myths and misconceptions about what sets fuel off and what makes it explode.

Practical Tactics

Todays show was about some practical tactics that you should know for your everyday life. Glen shared a story from our time at the range this weekend about fully grown men not knowing how to jump their own vehicles. To get to the tactics part Glen mentioned some real situations you may find yourself in that require some tactical thinking such as what to do when someone is in your house and you need to find them. We also had a surprise guest call in as well from Just The Tip Of The Spear to share some of his thoughts on practical tactics and training. Our next show will sadly not be live but don't worry folks, it'll still be full of great content.

Be wary of Hand-to-Hand Fighting Instructors

Today on The Arms Room we talked about why its important to be selective when looking for a place/instructor to teach hand-to-hand fighting. Glen talked about the difference between regulated fighting styles as a sport and actual fighting in real life. John disagreed slightly with Glens assessment and stated his reasons why. Towards the end of the show John and Glen shared some good places in AZ to get some great hand-to-hand training namely Cecil Burch of Immediate Action Combatives. Be sure to join us next show to hear about practical tactics, door breaching and what you should be practicing.

The Wilderness

On today's Arms Room we had the pleasure of having Sam of The Wilderness on the show to chat with us about how they got started and what separates them from all the people that copy their belts. We also talked about why it is important to have high quality gear that you can bet your life on. When Sam's father Ralph founded The Wilderness he started making gear that he himself used and counted on and The Wilderness still has that passion.

FUBAR

Today on The Arms Room we got some salty veterans together to play the military version of cards against humanity. If you like laughing then we would highly recommend taking a look at this show. We laughed, cried and had an all around good time. This show is defiantly rated R so be sure to watch whose listening.

Vortex Optics

Today on another exciting episode of The Arms Room we had Ruben from Vortex Optics on the show to talk with us about the importance of buying good glass. He told us about why spending 1500 dollars on a rifle and then buying an 80 dollar Walmart special scope to mount on it is a bad idea. You are severely limiting your capability by buying inferior glass. Ruben also told us about the famous Vortex warranty and the support they put behind their optics. Be sure to join us next show to hear a bunch of salty veterans playing the Military version of Cards Against Humanity, FUBAR.

Running For The Hills

Today on The Arms Room our topic of discussion was running for the hills and why that may not be the best idea. We managed to go a good portion of the show without hearing a rant from Glen but then he came out of left field with a good one about community. A big part of peoples desire to run to the hills is from a lack of community. Get out there and meet your neighbors because when things get tough like it or not those are the people you will be counting on. Be sure to join us next show as we will have Vortex Optics coming on to talk with us about why making a careful design about buying an optic can save you a lot of trouble down the road.
