Every Day Carry in Non-permissive Enviroments

Glen opened up by sharing some current events from the last week, like the Air National Guard unauthorized overflight of a halloween party. There are going to be some serious safety breifs for all Guard and Reserve soldiers next drill. We discussed just how important mind set can be when dealing with a non permissive enviroment and how important it is be be prepared. A large part of todays show was given over to unconventional/improvised weapons and the justification for using one. Join us next time as we go over Deep Cover Concealment as it relates to Firearms.

Importance of Unarmed Combat

On todays show we discussed the importance of unarmed combat as well as some of the legal issues that result from using lethal force when a less lethal option exists. We had Brian on the show to talk about some of the classes he offers as well as some of the training he recommends. Join us next show as we discuss EDC in non permissive environments such as airports, Federal buildings, court houses etc. 

Survival/Go-Bags

On today's show we started off by attempting to calm the population by disscussing the Ebola issue. Then we jumped straight into selecting your Go-Bag and talked about what goes into a good bag. Redundancy is good, redundancy is good and Glen demonstrated this by having multiple ways to make fire and signal for help. Join us next time as we have Brian coming into the show to discuss why its important to know how to fight without a gun.

Shotgun

On todays show Glen and John talked about the myths surrounding the use of shotguns for home defense.

Different hunting styles

Today we'll be going over different hunting styles and finding one that fits you. Do you enjoy stalking or actively pursuing? Do you like to find a perch and hide out or do you like to attract animals to your stand? 

Test Your Guns and Ammunition

Today we'll be talking about how to effectively test your guns and ammunition before you consider them reliable for competition, hunting, or self-defense. Just because it's new from the factory, or 'military grade', doesn't mean it's always good to go! 

Pick a Instructor

Today we'll be discussing how to select a professional instructor, and what to look for in their background, education, online presence, and resume. Regardless of whether you're looking for a physical fitness coach, a firearms instructor, or an educational mentor, picking the right one is important and can save you a lot of money, pain, and suffering.
