Michael has some end-of-the-year thoughts on this last podcast of 2024…preparedness continues to be an important element of our new — and hopefully  improving — self-defense landscape. An in-between that big dinner and rocking around the Christmas tree, try to get in a little shooting!

Michael was so impressed with the Magnum Research SwitchBolt .22 rifle that he's thinking of pushing it out for some long-range rimfire. He also outlines his heartbreaking loss of an auction for an entire "Boot Hill" graveyard!

Yes, it’s Election Day, but Michael is taking a week off paranoia, fear and social collapse to talk about his whirlwind "mini-vacation” to Santa Fe, the best red sauce, why a great margarita is a transcendent experience and why driving home through a blizzard sucks. Also, acknowledging a great Swarovski scope!
