Thank you for listening to the “LARGEST”, pound for pound, podcast on the network

We are out

In Episode 374 (rebroadcast of Ep 308), we answer Patreons’ questions on a wide range of interesting topics. We continue the discussion in the After Show, available to Patreon supporters. You can sign up here to become a Patreon (thank you!). Please support our sponsors Survival Garden Seeds, ProOne Water Filters, EMP Shield, Numanna Foods, Backwoods Home Magazine, and Ammo Squared. We are part of the Firearms Radio Network. Learn more about our podcast at Prepping 2-0.com

n this episode of ZERT Coffee & Chaos, we break down the growing unrest surrounding current events in Minnesota and why they matter far beyond state lines. From the governor’s decision not to seek re-election to mounting questions around fraud implications within government systems, the political landscape is shifting—and fast.

We also address the officer-involved shooting connected to ICE activity and the public response that followed. What information is being released, what’s being withheld, and how narratives form before facts are fully established. This isn’t about partisan talking points—it’s about accountability, transparency, and understanding how rapidly escalating events impact public trust and personal safety.

As always, we cut through the noise, challenge assumptions, and talk honestly about preparedness, situational awareness, and the reality that chaos doesn’t always announce itself in advance. Pour a cup, settle in, and let’s unpack what’s really going on.

Suppressors aren’t just a gear choice anymore, they’re the center of one of the biggest shifts we’ve seen in the gun world in years. In this episode, we sit down with Brandon Maddox, CEO of Silencer Central, to unpack everything that’s changed since the $200 tax stamp went away and what it really means for shooters, builders, and dealers.

We talk straight about how Silencer Central scaled from booths at gun shows to being a national name, what people still get wrong about Form 4s, and how the market’s now flooded with suppressors that probably shouldn’t be on rifles. From titanium vs welded cans to direct thread vs QD, it’s a no-fluff breakdown of what works, what doesn’t, and what’s coming next.

Brandon also pulls back the curtain on the behind-the-scenes drama, from legislative backlash to what actually moves the needle for 2A rights. If you’ve got a suppressor, sell them, or want one, this episode’s a must. Real talk, hard questions, and insight that goes beyond marketing brochures.

In this episode of the Acceptable Accuracy Podcast, Philip and Tyler are joined by Casey and Jeff to recap their experience at the Wolverine 5K Winter Skirmish, a cold-weather test of shooting, movement, and decision-making. We break down what the Winter Skirmish is, how it differs from the summer version, and how winter conditions turn gear, pacing, and mindset into real challenges. From gear that worked to equipment failures, hard lessons learned, and honest recommendations for anyone considering an event like this, this episode delivers practical takeaways, shared suffering, and a reminder that sometimes the best training happens when things are uncomfortable.

Join the guys on this episode of the AK-47 Radio Show as they look at this past year in review, AAR it and probably pretend like it was totally perfect with zero downsides! Turning to the year to come, someone mentions retro AR-15's, the AK-100 series, and all hell breaks loose!

207: On this episode, we talk about the Waltz 9, FN teases new rifle and pistol, Kimber Comps the 2K11, TTI shrinks the Viper, Beretta turns 500 years old!

Dear WLS

Chuckin Abox - Hello, I just bought a g-force jawbone 9mm AR9?PCC? It's got a 5.5"" barrel ,an adjustable pistol brace, and takes glock mags. Two questions. What gideon optic would you recommend and what pistol brace would you recommend. Use case will be home defense/truck gun. P.S. No Notes P.P.S. A guy just asked Jeremy if he remembered a cab driver outside ft.leonard wood with a gimpy arm. That guy owns a bar now called bottoms up and big louie's strip club is now Uranus Fudge Factory owned by the same guy Louie lol P.P.PS. I worked at Big Louie's adult store next to the strip club from 01-04 so it's very possible I sold Jeremy his gay porn back in the day.

 

 

Harold Ballzanya - I've recently moved to an area that has an indoor shooting range. Outside of normal safety rules, what are some things I should consider before going my first time. Is it acceptable to walk in with your gun in its holster, or should it be in a case. Can I use a holster at all, should it be left on the table when not firing? Are shotguns okay? I'm sure these rules can be answered by a range officer for each individual range but I don't want to come in looking like an idiot. Also what sort of range etiquette is there to be expected of me?

 

 

Baklava of Balaklava - Not that many years ago any review of a Turkish gun would be full of comments saying people would never buy a gun from that country as long as the islamofascist tyrant Erdogan was in power. This never seems to happen anymore. What happened with American gun buyers? Erdogan hasn't become less islamofascist or tyrannical in his old age - quite the contrary. And all Turkish foreign sales help continue the dictatorship. Are there countries where the regime is such that the panel would never buy a weapon produced there?

 

 

Ed - With all the new guns and gear gun-tubers and social media influencers talk about do you guys feel pressured into carrying all the new stuff? On one hand, I like idea appendix carrying a 17-rd comped pistol with light, optic and extra mag, but I find it to be bulky and uncomfortable most of the time. On the other hand, the simplicity of a pocket snubby or 380 is convenient and comfortable but it’s not mainstream.

 

The winner of this week's swag pack is ED!

Tracing the Brown University Killer's Gun: Debunking Myths

The article discusses the limitations of gun tracing as a law enforcement tool, particularly in relation to recent incidents like the Brown University shooting. It highlights that while investigators can trace a firearm to its first purchaser, this process often yields little useful information for solving crimes. The implications for the gun community include ongoing scrutiny and potential misunderstanding of gun ownership dynamics, without substantive evidence that tracing directly contributes to crime resolution.

Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from Anonymous Coward from Georgia - ⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️

 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from Anonymous Coward from Nebraska - Your show is better than my toes. 5 ✨

 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from Mitch B - We Like Shooting is basically hanging out with the most dysfunctional gun buddies you have, except these degenerates accidentally built one of the top shooting podcasts. The show mixes actual firearms knowledge, industry news, and gear talk with enough profanity and insults to scare off anyone who thinks “indoor voice” is a personality trait."
