What Exactly Is ‘Gun Violence’ According to the Gun Grabbers?
There are a few terms used by the gun-grabbing citizens of this country that I truly despise. Such terms, like “gun violence” are cringe worthy and are about as accurate…
Episode 187: Lots of New Guns…And New Gun Control
Riley and Jacob talk about the latest in industry news along with our popular JUSTIFIED defensive gun use stories. Today we feature news where a bunch of new guns have been announced, slated to soon hit the market. Also some further gun control is being looked at in Denver, Colorado. Plus the ammo control laws passed in California a little more than a year went into effect this week, and boy are gun owner’s lives about to change in the The Golden State as it just became a lot more difficult to purchase ammunition.

Episode 183: New Gun Confiscation Law in New York?
Today Riley and Rob Beckman discuss the latest in concealed carry law and news including some legislative updates that could mean major positive gains for CCWers in Ohio and North Dakota. At the same time, unfortunately, New York Governor Cuomo is talking about establishing a new law that could mean major gun confiscations from individuals to the likes not before seen there.

Episode 181: 5 Stories Where “Victims” Refused to be Victims
This last week has been a busy one! The U.S. House passed H.R. 38 packaged together with the Fix NICS bill. One Hawaiian police department says they will not enforce the law where it comes to confiscating firearms from or charging owners that also use marijuana. One college cancels a speech by a 2nd Amendment activist deeming it as being “too controversial.” And we have 5 JUSTIFIED stories lined that you just gotta hear including the one where a female bystander saves the life of a cop by intervening with her own legally carried concealed handgun!
Episode 180: Facebook Live Discussion About H.R. 38 and Fix NICS
It is an historic day with the passing of H.R. 38, The Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017. Some have wondered if the “Fix NICS” bill was also included in that, and it indeed was. But the passed bill is not as bad as what we initially thought. Riley and Jacob have pored over the language in the bill and discuss what it means and its implications in today’s episode. Oh and we discuss the likelihood of it getting through the Senate.
Episode 179: People Couldn’t Believe The Blood Was Real!
Today’s stories are a must-hear! A couple of critical bills just past through the House Judicial Committee and will be going up for a House vote in the next day or so, and one of them is a big mistake! 4 incredible JUSTIFIED stories will teach some really important lessons including the story of yet another pizza delivery driver that is attacked and is forced to defend himself in a gunfight. A photo of bright red blood on the ground was the result of a man who accidentally shot himself with his Taurus Judge, and because there was so much blood and it was so brightly colored, the photo “broke the Internet” as people were left skeptical that is was even a real photo to begin with. But Riley has the scoop on the true, real-life story that will blow your mind and really drives home how important tourniquets are where it comes to saving lives.
Episode 178: The Slippery Slope
There’s a lot of talk right now about passing new gun regulation reforms, i.e., gun control. We have to be careful about how these issues are approached. Some even within our community are okay with some of these so-called “common sense” laws. We have heard people say, “What are you so afraid of? We’re not trying to take away your guns!” Today in this episode we break down why this line of thinking can be dangerous and how you can approach the issue with friends, colleagues and even family that dare venture down the slippery slope.
Episode 177b: “Good Guy With a Gun” a Myth?
We hope you had a fantastic Thanksgiving. Over the break there were so many new stories that we just had to talk about, we split this episode up into 2 parts. Enjoy this part 2 where we talk about the discrimination Facebook is committing by restricting and shutting down firearm related pages and ads. Also we dive into an article written by an Army veteran and gun owner that tries to reason that the whole “good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun” premise is just a myth. But we follow that right up with at least 2 JUSTIFIED stories from the last week that blow holes right through that ill-informed statement!
Defining the Slippery Slope Gun Rights Argument
What Is The Argument? Those in favor of stronger regulation of firearms often run into the “Slippery Slope” argument from gun owners and those that are pro gun rights. The…
Episode 177a: The Liberal Gun Club
We hope you had a fantastic Thanksgiving. Over the break there were so many new stories that we just had to talk about, we split this episode up into 2 parts. Enjoy this part 1 of the episode as we talk about anti-gunners calling upon webhosts to shut down e-commerce sites that sell “ghost gun” kits and parts. Hear our take on this attack on our rights. Also we discuss one major gun manufacturer that appears may be in trouble with the “Trump Slump” occurring in the firearms industry. But the top story is one based on a video about The Liberal Gun Club that is a place for non-traditional 2nd Amendment supporters.
Episode 175: Road Rage Turns Into Deadly Shooting
Last week we told you about the war on guns that is building and is coming. This week we see skewed and biased reporting from Quinnipiac University with a poll about support for an assault weapons ban. We see so-called journalistic publications asking for donations to help them publish more content on guns, gun violence, and gun control because where it comes to gun control “we just aren’t doing enough.” We have a Republican-controlled Congress that is afraid to do anything on pro-gun legislation for fear of it not being good for “optics.” So instead they feel they must do something, and some Senators and Representatives are getting on board with “low hanging fruit of common sense regulation.” At least Michigan is doing some things right as last week the Senate passed a bill that reduces the number of “Gun Free Zones” and this week the House passed a bill for constitutional carry. Follow along, and don’t forget the powerful lessons to be learned from today’s JUSTIFIED stories.
Episode 174: The Great Debate About Law Enforcement Interactions
In today’s episode we take and answer several questions and address topics we received from listeners. Check out today’s episode for information about 2nd Amendment rights versus party politics, home lighting and security and some strategies involving new home technology that could help you in an invasion. We also talk about a particular holster that we think has some challenges. Finally, Riley and Jacob get into it a little bit about what’s the best way to interact with law enforcement particularly in a traffic stop situation.
Episode 173: “Hand Over Your Weapons”
The war against guns and gun rights is just getting started. Election results across the country last week weren’t favorable towards the 2nd Amendment. Virginia and New Jersey have new anti-gun governors. Media outlets are suggested it is a referendum against Trump and because the voters want more gun control. Is that really the case? We’re not so sure, but one thing is certain…this battle is continuing on, and we have got to educate and motivate people to understand the “gun issue” and get on the right side of things.
Episode 171: Texas Church Massacre
It is a solemn day in America. But heroes walk amongst us. And the fight for the Second Amendment is more critical now than ever even as we see Republicans in the House considering removing the deregulation of suppressors from the SHARE Act and more gun control is called for from the Michael Bloomberg gun control lobby. We cannot let our guard down!
Episode 169: Good Guy With a Gun Stops Child Abduction
The former NPR Chief “comes out of the closet” on gun rights. The anti-gunners are dealt a blow in Illinois when a bumpfire stock and trigger modification bill failed to pass the House. Even a few anti-gun Democrats wouldn’t vote for it. Meanwhile Mayor Bloomberg’s Everytown is pouring millions into Virginia State elections. His efforts will likely fail as they have elsewhere. Plus DO NOT miss the story of a Las Vegas man that stopped the kidnapping of a 6-year-old boy because he made it a habit to always carry his gun on his person. It also was not hte first time he had to defend himself either. Riley and Jacob discuss at length, check it out!
