Episode 137: Man Sits on Cocked Gun, Shoots Self in Genitals

Riley and Matthew talk about the latest in national and state legislative issues including one Oregon law that just passed through the state house heading for the governor’s desk that WILL result in the confiscation of guns without due process!! Meanwhile on a more positive front, new legislation is introduced that goes even further than the Hearing Protection Act that would completely deregulate silencers in the federal law–the SHUSH Act looks very promising as far as legislation is concerned, but does it stand a chance in the U.S. House and Senate? Finally, don’t miss the crazy story where one man gets shot in the “crown jewels” when he sits down on his loaded gun!

50 State Reciprocity Was Never The Goal, Baseball Shooting Proves It

It’s sad because I have family in New Jersey I’d like to visit more often, and a great friend from the Marines in Maryland, who, ironically, is a police officer in PG County (one of the deadliest in the nation).

Episode 135: The History of Self-Defense

Today Riley invites Dr. Steve Adams onto the podcast to talk about the history of self-defense. What sort of rights did people have during the Dark Ages and up through Colonial America while still under the rule of King George III? What important role did John Locke and other great philosophers play in shaping the thoughts and ideologies of our Founding Fathers? Was the 2nd Amendment just a convenient idea that made it into the Bill of Rights? Or did it serve a greater and much more intentional purpose? Riley and Dr. Adams break it all down and discuss the influences behind the 2nd Amendment and the right to self-defense. We hope this episode is enjoyable and especially relevant for you on Independence Day!
