Today: This is a Truck Talk Tuesday, just a discussion with you and me in a long drive. Talking guns, gear, and mindset. Continuing our mindset discussion from last Truck Talk, we talk today about evil walking among us. It’s the one thing police officers understand that must other people don’t. The worst of the worst walk among us in our everyday life. That “three time looser” is in the convience store line right behind you along with the guy that just got out of prison for raping and killing someone. That’s not to mention the ones that haven’t been caught yet.
You need to understand that these people are out there, and you actually interact with some every day. As long as you aren’t chosen as their victim you will never know how evil these people are.
Just look at your local news to see how bad those people are that live around you.

Podcast Outline:
Self Defense is hard
No one wants to believe it can happen to them
Liability is what more companies, schools, and entities care about – Even over human lives
They look at raw numbers and not the people and lives that they share
Money is more important than human lives
We outsource everything in our lives
Self Defense
Protection the Family
Food
Preparedness
Teaching our Kids
Law Care
Done it for so long that we don’t even think it is our responsibility anymore
Hardship creates hard men, those hard men turn around and try to make it easy for the next generation, then the next generation makes it easier on the next, until something happens and hardship creates another generation of hard men.

August 31, 2018 Podcast 234 Should We Arm School Teachers
Click to download from iTunes
Click Here Get Notes by Email
Today: Should we arm school teachers? Should school teachers be allowed to be armed? Two different questions. This week we are looking at whether the government should spend tax money (our money) to train and equip school teachers with firearms. It’s a good discussion to have, and one that is long overdue.
The concern I have with the argument going on right now over that question is the primary reason people on both sides of the gun rights debate is money, funding. Who is going to pay? That we can’t afford to take any money away from what is already going on in schools. Stupid argument if you ask me… and here’s why.

Click to download from iTunes
Click Here Get Notes by Email
Today is a Truck Talk Tuesday with Ben Branam back from a little time off because of life.
Today we talk about what’s good, better, and best when it comes to carrying a gun and defending yourself.
I want to change your thoughts on how you think about others carrying a gun and maybe yourself. I know you carry the best possible way and the best possible gun out there. But not everyone does. I think it’s good if good people carry a gun. Any gun is good, some are better, and we could start a bar fight on what is best. As long as it’s safe, it’s a good way to carry. But we can always get better.
Remember that the next time you want to talk down about how someone is carrying a gun.
