FNP 022 : Jon Dufresne - Fighting at Night Aug 01, 2017

Show notes

Jon Dufresne is a former Army Ranger and now a firearms instructor. He teaches for both Sage Dynamics and Frank Proctor (who was an instructor on the 2016 Shooter's Summit.) Jon's focus as an instructor is not only on fundamentals but low light techniques and emergency tactical care.

In todays podcast you'll learn why more lumens (that's the rating on flashlights) is better when you need to fight at night, the danger of setting up your gear wrong, and answering the question of do you really need iron sights.

I had a great conversation with Jon and I hope you will get out of it as much as I did..

FNP 021 : Ben Simonson - The Grip Master Jul 25, 2017

Show notes

Ben Simonson is the owner and craftsman behind the company Boresight Solutions. If you have a plastic framed gun, you probably already know about Boresight Solutions. They were one of the first companies stippling (creating texture on frames) guns which forced the gun makers to develop better grips. Boresight goes further in the custom work that you can do on the frames. The work is very detailed and functional.

Boresight Solutions is on Facebook and Instagram or you can check out the website at:

FNP 015 : Joe Dawson - The Truth Teller Jun 13, 2017

Show notes

My guest today is a writer, instructor and competitive shooter. Joe Dawson writes about guns and gear for Recoil magazine, Breach Bang Clear and Modern Service Weapons. He teaches swat officers and military guys how to reach out and touch bad guys at long distances with a rifle and he also competes in PRS and Action pistol sports. I found his articles really capture his personality and look online if you are interested. We talk about long range shooting, how to keep our kids safe and then get into the cult of firearm instructor personalities.

Show notes

My guest today is an attorney, an author, competitive shooter and tv guest host. Andrew Branca has been a lifelong shooter and reached master class in IDPA. Knowing that there was a lot of misinformation on being involved in a self-defense shooting, he focused his legal career to learn the subsection of criminal law the deals with use of force and defending your life. He quickly became a subject matter expert on the laws of self-defense and has been quoted in major newspapers and on nationally syndicated broadcast shows.

He recently became a guest host on the hit tv show on the Outdoor Channel, "The Best Defense".

Andrew has written the go to book called "The Law of Self-Defense" which is in it's 3rd edition and that is the name of his website.

Finally, Andrew teaches classes around the country on this topic and was a guest instructor at the prestigious Sig Sauer Academy.

This is probably the most important episode of the Firearms Nation Podcast. If you have to draw your gun and defend your life, knowing what we are about to talk about will certainly save you tons of heartache.
