The gang's all here for a very special episode of Armed Lutheran Radio as we devote the show to the aftermath of the terror attack in Orlando. Aaron Israel joins me to talk about responding to active shooter incidents. Pastor Bennett discusses the proper Christian response to this tragedy. And Sgt. Bill joins me, Aaron, and the Pastor for a round-table to discuss the aftermath, the politics, gun control, and things we can do that would actually make a difference.

On this episode of Armed Lutheran Radio we're back from the Stars & Stripes Regional IDPA Championship in Tulsa with 12 tips for creating great IDPA match stages.  Sgt. Bill has talks about the advantages and disadvantages for reloading hot loads versus soft loads.  Aaron Israel talks about what to expect in the aftermath of a self-defense shooting.  And our special guest Eric Woodward, the owner of 199Trust, joins us to talk about firearms trusts and ATF regulation 41F.

We offer our condolences and prayers for all those affected by the horrific terror attack in Orlando, Florida. We pray that our nation will awake from it's politically correct slumber and recognize, finally, the threat we face. We must recognize that the gun is not the problem. It is the evil in the hearts of men who wield them to commit such atrocious acts.

O God, the Protector of all that trust in You, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy, increase and multiply upon us Your mercy that, You being our Ruler and Guide, we may so pass through things temporal that we finally lose not the things eternal; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord. Amen.

It's feast or famine at Armed Lutheran Radio!  For our 20th episode, all our contributors are back and the show is chocked full of goodness.  Sgt. Bill talks about passing on your passion for shooting in this week's Ballistic Minute, Aaron Israel of Fundamental Defense joins us to talk about his trip to the NRA Annual Meetings in Louisville, Kentucky, and Pastor John Bennett is here to fisk an article from a retired ELCA pastor which suggests that "strong" Christians must set a good example for "weak" Christians and eschew the ownership of guns, because owning a gun is like pagan worship and you might give people the impression that owning a gun is okay.  But it's not.  Or something.  It's a bizarre "re-contextualization" of Paul's letter to the church at Corinth and we unravel the whole thing in Clinging to God and Guns.

We are winging it this week on Armed Lutheran Radio.  All our plans fell apart. Aaron Israel is in Louisville for the NRA Annual Meetings, Pastor John Bennett is taking care of some family matters, and Sgt. Bill and I are left holding down the fort.  Sarge has tips for shooting faster in this week's Ballistic Minute.  We talk about the Target stores controversy, and a story by Kevin Williamson at National Review about why criminals are so darn difficult to stop, especially when our politicians insist on policies that target the law abiding, and not the criminals.

In this week's episode of Armed Lutheran Radio, we're back from the Texas State IDPA match with tips from Sergeant Bill on practicing what you're not good at, Aaron Israel of Fundamental Defense joins me to discuss the importance of seeking professional training, and Pastor John Bennett of St. John's Lutheran Church in Willow Creek, Minnesota is back for Clinging to God and Guns as we take on another bit of bad theology (and logic) from evangelical minister Rev. Rob Schenck. 

In this week's episode we are excited to be joined by the co-host of Table Talk Radio, Pastor Bryan Wolfmueller of Hope Lutheran Church in Aurora, Colorado, to talk about the Doctrine of the Three Estates and how it can help us better understand the natural right of self-defense.  Sergeant Bill talks about pre-stage planning, Aaron Israel of Fundamental Defense shares some lessons from a tragic shooting outside a Texas Walgreens, and defending Armed Lutheran Gun Trivia Quiz Champion Jon Braaten brings us a gun review. 

In this week's episode Sergeant Bill talks about how and why you should get started shooting IDPA, we try to put the best construction on the most bizarre article from the Huffington Post which suggests that you have a right to own guns, but not a right to use them for self-defense, and we discuss an article's deceptive use of the term "children" in Clinging to God and Guns with Pastor John Bennett.

On this week's episode, we're back from our third IDPA match in four weeks to bring you a look inside the range bag of Sgt. Bill, tips on how to avoid disappointing gun and gear purchases from Aaron Israel of Fundamental Defense, and Rev. Kenn Blanchard, the Black Man with a Gun, joins us to talk about podcasting, gun violence and race, and his newest project: GunMovement.ORG.

I recently started hand-loading, so I invited Josh Ruby of North Texas Rifle Precision joins us to talk about hand-loading for newbies. Gawker thinks old people are too weak to use guns for self-defense, but we prove them wrong...with examples. And Hillary Clinton thinks we should be able to hold firearms manufacturers liable for gun violence -- we take a look at the logic behind shielding the firearms industry from frivolous lawsuits.
