GET OFF MY LAWN! Podcast

There are myriad new firearm owners and 2A advocates/activists out there. When someone is new and still learning the jargon in "our world," often times they will use the wrong word or phrase and well-meaning but tactless keyboard warriors will light them up faster than than a doobie at a Snoop Dogg concert. We also see people on news outlets, both pundits and politicians, constantly misuse words or phrases. Some times they DO know what they are saying, but most times I believe they just don't know any better. That's where WE come in.  

Let's discuss some of the more common words that are used incorrectly, and then offer a better word or phrase to use.  As always, we will need some audience participation to help list the common mistakes we see from both new firearm owners AND media pundits/politicians.

I recently heard an episode of GUNS Magazine's podcast called "The Gun Cranks." In that episode, the three panelists all concurred that open carry is unquestionably and undeniably STUPID.

Let's have our own discussion/debate and find out if EVERYONE thinks that way or if those old fuddy-duddies are just plain FUDDS.

Let's have some fun on the last THURSDAY broadcast for at least a month! We will require some audience participation for this one, I'll explain on air.  Let's see how many rabbit holes we can find tonight! 

Remember, starting in March, 2023, we will move the live broadcast to WEDNESDAYS and see if that helps us reach more of you.

Join us as we visit with Amanda Suffecool and Rick Ector about their quest to join the NRA Board of Directors. We'll find out why a board position is important to each of them, and why it is important to ALL of us that we get good people onto the board.

EDC means many things to many people, but Every Day Carry should mean more than just your handgun. Let's talk about what ELSE you carry with you on an every-day basis, how you carry it, and maybe we can learn something from one another.

No specific topic or schedule for tonight's show, let's talk about Chris Kyle, Every 2nd Matters, and whatever else comes up in conversation.

Over the years, I have heard multiple firearms instructors oppose Constitutional Carry because they fear it will affect their livelihood. The facts do not support that.

Let's have a discussion about all the ways that Constitutional Carry BENEFITS instructors and how, with no requirement for a permit to carry, the possibilities for new class offerings are limited only by your own imagination.

We do not treat any other right as listed in the constitution the same way the 2nd Amendment gets treated. We do not place prior restraint upon our rights to speech, worship, illegal search and seizure, due process, or any others, EXCEPT our right to keep and bear arms. For THAT right, and ONLY that right, we must first ask permission from the State to bear a firearm in a concealed fashion in public. We must ask the State for a PERMIT to exercise a RIGHT. As a free American, I find that unacceptable.

The Supreme Court of the United States, apparently, agrees. Justice Thomas, in his opinion on New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, wrote "The constitutional right to bear arms in public for self-defense is not 'a second-class right, subject to an entirely different body of rules than the other Bill of Rights guarantees."

Let's offer up some talking points and sound bytes that people might find useful as they fight to secure their rights across the nation.

In case you haven't noticed, society is quickly going to Hell in a handbasket. The new "progressive" movement has hijacked words and twisted them to become caricatures of their former selves. Some words have even been REDEFINED in Webster's dictionary! Words don't matter anymore, until they DO.

Is this just a natural progression in society? Is it a symptom of a deeper blight? Let's discuss.

This is the last episode of the year. Let's review 2022, the highs and the lows. Then, we'll discuss what we would like to see in the next trip around the sun.
