Bonus Episode: Thoughts on Training & Safety With Fiocchi’s Buel Collins

In this special bonus episode, we play back the interview Riley and Jacob were able to do with Buel Collins, Marketing Manager with Fiocchi Ammunition. What we really appreciate about Buel is that he doesn’t just work in the firearms/ammunition industry. He eats, drinks, and sleeps it! He really knows how to shoot and takes it seriously enough to seek out dozens of training hours each year with respected firearms instructors. We found his insight valuable about training and also the importance of making sure a person is comfortable with a firearm with regards to safety BEFORE moving forward with anything else.

Episode 209: Good Guys With Guns Don’t Stop Bad Guys…Or Do They?

Today’s episode features quite the dichotomy of news stories. On the one hand, you have Dianne Feinstein claiming some silliness about how good guys don’t stop bad guys, yet we have a perfect example in the media just today as a BREAKING NEWS story of a shooting at a high school in Maryland earlier this morning was stopped by a “good guy with a gun.” Plus a double-barreled AR-15?? Good or not good?

Bonus Episode: Getting More People Involved in the Shooting Sports – Nephi Cole

In this special bonus episode, we play back the interview Riley and Jacob was able to do with Nephi Cole, Policy Advisor to Governor Matthew H. Mead of the State of Wyoming. They have been doing some amazing things to attract firearms business to their state and grow their economy. One initiative that is having a great impact on the growth of and perception of the Second Amendment in their state is by working to get more people–adults and children alike–involved in the firearms community. They have established a simple, although not easy, shooting competition called the Wyoming Top 100. And last year was the inaugural Wyoming Governor’s Match, a 2-gun match that brought in shooters from across the country.
