AK vs. AR (kinda)

On today's show we were blessed to have Glen away so that John and I could actually get a word in edgewise. We started off the show with our usual current events talk covering the Belgian and French police officers kicking ISIS doors down in Europe and the election protesters blocking roads right here in AZ. Then we dove right in and started off dispelling some of the myths about the age old AR vs AK argument. The difference in accuracy between the two within 200 meters is negligible, and chance are the average person won't ever shoot out past 200 meters anyway. Be sure to join us next show to hear from some of the Independence Training Staff's children about growing up immersed in gun culture.

Lights and Lasers

Today we enjoyed talking about flashlights and lasers and what they can do for you. We kind of glazed over the laser thing because we just got so wrapped up talking about flashlights. Lasers have a much more limited use than flashlights but thats not to say they don't have their uses. Flashlights are a lot more applicable to every day life. Even in the modern day world people still find themselves in low light conditions so be prepared with a good EDC flashlight. Be sure to join us next show to hear about the age old argument of AK vs AR.

Slumberjack

Today we had Marily from Slumberjack on the show to talk with us about Slumberjack gear and what makes it so great. She started by telling us a little of the history of Slumberjack, from their humble beginnings as camping gear manufactures to what they are today. Today's Sumberjack has a much broader focus to include hunters and to a lesser extent military personnel. Be sure to check them out at www.slumberjack.com if you are in the market for some great gear that won't break the bank. Join us next show for a talk about lights, lasers and why they are important parts of your EDC.

Go Outside!!!!

Today what was supposed to happen was a show about children growing up around firearms. What actually happened was 20 min of Glen talking about why he dislikes veterans telling non-veterans that they can't wear armor and high speed gear. Then we eventually started talking about getting outdoors and some of the benefits of doing so. Americans need to get back to their rough and ready roots and start going outdoors more. Be sure to join us next show to hear from Marily from SlumberJack about some of their amazing products. 

Personel Fitness

Today we had from Doug Lang Fitness on the show to talk with us about personel fitness and supplements. Glen preached about his views on being as fit as possible for a few min, he couldn't help himself. Doug also shared with us his views on supplements and which ones he recommends for his clients. Not all supplements are created equal and some are only created to make money, look for the ones that have been around for awhile and don't always hop on the newest fanciest thing on the market. Be sure to join us next show to hear from Glen son and Rebecca's daughter, mini Glen and mini Rebecca about whats its like growing up surrounded by firearms and people who make a living handling them.

Bug Out Bags Vs. Get Home Bags

Today we talked about the difference between bugging out and bugging in and what you should really put into a good get home bag. Get home bags are exactly what they sound like, they are designed to get you from wherever you are back home. Bugging out isn't always the answer, sometime it is advantageous to stay in and wait out whatever calamity is happening. Be sure to tune in next show to hear from Dug and Kaycee about fitness and what kind of supplements are out there to help you maintain your bodies readiness.

Dry Fire and Low Round Count Training

Today Glen and John talk about some of the ways you can train without using high round counts or even any live fire at all. There are plenty of drills out there that don't require live rounds, just get on google and do some research. There are also drills out there that require very few rounds and can be preformed at any public range. If you are conducting dry practice be sure to clear all weapons and have no live ammunition present while training. Join us next show to hear about bugout bags, get home bags and what the differences are in the two bags.
