The boys speak with Luis Valdes from Gun Owners of America about the status of Florida's constitutional carry in their legislature, and why the republican majority is being very flaky on including open carry.

Finally, a discussion with Ron Battelle, Retired St. Louis County Police Chief & Executive Director at BackStoppers | BackStoppers.org

Emily Porter from the Mo. Dept. of Conservation to discuss the increase of women hunting (in honor of International Women's Month).
Female hunters have been increasing during the past 15 years at least, according to various data sets from conservation organizations. The state is seeing women in hunting grow younger and more prevalent. While 78,000 Missouri women have firearm hunting permits, most of the increases appear to be in bow hunting.
Female bow hunters increased by nearly 40 percent between 2005-2014, according to a report on the state’s  recruitment, retention and reactivation plan by the Archery Trade Association. The same report indicated a 5 percent decrease in this demographic’s age.

We begin by thanking everyone who came out to Bo's Big Dawg Poker Bash last weekend. 

Then Mo. Sen. Nick Schroer tells us what is going on with SAPA after a federal judge struck it down. The Second Amendment Preservation Act passed in 2021, & made it illegal for police to enforce federal gun laws that are not included in state statutes. It also allows people to sue police departments for up to $50,000 if they feel like an officer is violating their 2nd  Amendment rights. U.S. District Judge, Brian Wimes, ruled the legislation violates the U.S. Constitution’s supremacy over local laws & called it, “unconstitutional in its entirety.”

Marc Cox & Bo Matthews speak with Lulu Bogolin from Equine Assist Therapy. The recreational nature of the Equine-Assisted Activities program allows a source of hope for people with disabilities. They can leave the standard clinical setting and enjoy an independence they never thought would be available to them. The Equine-Assisted Learning Program is an experiential education program that harnesses the power of relationship with the horse as a path to self-discovery and growth. This is not a typical horseback riding class. Riding is offered as part of some Equine-Assisted Learning classes, but it is not the main focus. Silver Saddles is a program for able bodied riders that are 55+ years old. The Veterans Program facilitates a relationship and a bond between the veteran and his or her horse. They are having their Cornhole Tournament 2023 Sunday, March 12th at 3369 Hwy 109 Wildwood, MO 63038 Check in at 10am – Bags fly at 10:30am $60 per team – $35 for single registrant Will take place rain or shine in our indoor arena. https://eatherapy.org/
