Show notes

The assassination of Charlie Kirk has impacted the United States more than any other event in modern history. As always, the question we need to answer is how will this horrific event change our lives and the way we live. These are hard, hard questions.

How Silencers Change Home Defense Sep 10, 2025

Show notes

For years we've thought about the options for home defense as being handguns, shotguns and most recently carbines. But with the end of the $200 suppressor tax in January, there will be a huge increase in silencer sales. Will the long maligned PDW or, in this case, a pistol caliber…pistol…become the home defense weapon of choice?

Well, sort of, but if you are going to carry a snub-nosed revolver on your belt, in a bag or in your pocket, there are no better people to learn from than Darryl Bolke and Bryan Eastridge. Last weekend Michael was in Wyoming for one of their two-day classes, and it was a great learning experience! Here's the low-down.

With the removal of the unConstitutional tax on short barrel rifles and shotguns, and the Firearms Policy Coalition's successful vacation of the ATF's equally unConstitutional pistol brace rule, are we looking at a new world of Personal Defense Weapons? Michael thinks so.

A Shooting Competition for Hunters! Jul 16, 2025

We've long been of the opinion that hunters need a shooting competition that makes sense across multiple platforms, from rifles to handguns to archery. Obviously, Walt and Austin Proulx agree. With the spectacular Cameo Shooting and Education Center in Western Colorado as the backdrop, we check out the Ultimate Hunter Shooting Sports. Also, Adaptive Shooting comes to Cameo.
