Recorded December 19, 2025

In this episode, Edgar and the Isaac return for an unfiltered conversation on firearms education, nonprofit realities, instructor burnout, and what it really means to be a responsible gun owner—not just a lawful one.

The discussion moves from light banter into deep reflections on teaching, safety enforcement, donation culture, and the emotional toll of running firearms classes in the real world. The episode also revisits the concept of Safety Third, challenging common assumptions about rules, legality, and risk management in self-defense.
