Podcast Outline:

Firearms Industry

Uptick in business for Sparks Firearms in the last couple days

Business has been dead

AR Sales were down

If I had a couple thousand dollars I’d buy:

Cases of ammo

An AK RAS 47

2 Stripped Lowers

Maybe another AR Rifle

Will there be a run up?

Pushing from the firearms distributors that there will be

Gun Rights

Academy Sports and Outdoors Stores

I’m pissed and tired of crap

No more fighting on Facebook

Real world will try and talk to people

Take people shooting

Propaganda can only be replaced with truth

NY Daily News article about how wimpy a “man” (maybe it’s a he) can be when shooting an AR rifle (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/firing-ar-15-horrifying-dangerous-loud-article-1.2673201) No clickable link on purpose.

Follow up article is horrible

“No debate because bullies like the NRA”

He’s stretching the truth in both articles and you can’t debate someone like that

Stats are bad and good

Emotional argument first

Common sense arguments

Truth one by one, person by person

10% Rule: Idiots that won’t be changed

Debate if others to hear by asking questions

Don’t argue with an idiot, he’ll drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Work on others

Vote

Truth about it

45-48% have mind made up because of party

For president most of your votes don’t count or matter

My Gym Bag

Podcast Outline:

This started with a guy I met at the gym that was trying to travel after the Brussels attacks and his wife was afraid to fly.  After I gave him some simple things to tell her he felt better and was going to convince his wife to go.

Don’t worry as much as the TV says

Sometimes even politicians tell the truth

Obama not that worried about ISIS and you shouldn’t be either

Chances of you being killed by terrorists is really small

Chances of you being killed by ISIS is even smaller

Chances of car accident is a lot higher

What can you do?

Start with a threat analysis

What’s the threats you actually encounter?

Places you go where the threats might be higher

Targets

Large Amounts of People

Their view: Bigger is always better

Don’t Stop Living your Life

Be Aware when you go places

Large Groups and Venues

Airports

Daily Life

Same Awareness

Gut Feelings

Being ready as before

Lots of different kinds of terrorists

Normally think of large groups

Loan wolf attacks can be just as bad

Harder to stop by authorities

Easier to stop by individuals

2 Types

Idealist

Practicalist (Book: Why Terrorism Works by Alan M. Dershowitz)

Both will continue as they tactics continue to work

Arafat at Camp David, The Peace Accord

Get what they want, it continues

Power over others

Treat them differently if encountered

Prapare

Plan ahead

Arrive Early

Have Gear

Gun

First Aid Kit

Survival

Food Water

Clothing

Future Attacks; My thoughts

Terrorist wet dream to get a nuclear bomb

Next down would be a dirty bomb

Maybe another Oklahoma Style Attack with that big of a bomb

Multiple bombings and attackers

With Controllers

More Loan Wolf half-ass attempts

Plane Hijackings are back in

What happened in the past will continue to be used until it doesn’t work or they can’t do it anymore.

How I got a Smith & Wesson Model 66 Combat Magnum

Different Smith & Wesson Revolver Frame Sizes

J-Frame; small 5-shot pocket gun

K-Frame; Med size frame designed for the .38 Special but a M66 is the old combat magnum in .357 Magnum

L-Frame; Mid size frame designed for the .357 Mag. Little bigger to take the higher pressures of the .357

N-Frame; Large size frame designed for the .44 mag, .41, and others. Think Dirty Harry .44 M29

X-Frame; XLG Frame designed to be a 5 shot with the ultra magnum rounds like .500 Magnum or .460 S&W

Trigger Control

Interrupted vs Sweeping Pulls

Faster and more precision shots

Straight pull without disrupting the sights

Straight reset

Muzzle Discipline and Control

Safety

Makes me Faster at everything gun handling

Revolver Reloads

Watching other reload a revolver

Faster

Coming out of the holster to first shot

Sweeping through the trigger

Ammo Conservation

Got Six

Takes forever to reload

That’s a question that many of our warriors coming back are failing. We know they are failing because they are committing suicide. So how do you survive the after math and the man in the mirror?

Fights you will find yourself in when you defend yourself

Physical Fight (the actual defensive use)

Mental Fight (can you look yourself in the mirror afterwards)

Prepare for this a head of time

Question for you to answer: Can I do what is necessary? How far will I go? Is there anything I won’t do?

Prepare For It:

Physically

In Your Mind

Podcast Outline:

3 Types of Bad Guys

Wimps – This type will give up as soon as you resist

Bullies – This type will need some convincing to give up. You will have to inflict damage and/or pain when you fight back to get this type to give up so you can prevail.

Dedicated – These are the worst of the worst. They will not give up until you make them physically. Rapist, murders, and terrorist would all fall into this category. They will take what they want form you and will only be stopped if you physically make them. They will not give up and will not be deterred. These scare me.

Be prepared to deal with all three.

You first have to assume you are dealing with a dedicated attacker

Then use the appropriate force if the attacker gives up or shows to be a wimp or bully.
