A Police Chief in the Florida city of Okeechobee decided that he had the authority to override the United States Constitution because it was an “emergency”. Tune in to see how well that went for him and the city.

During our SOTG Homeroom from www.SOTGU.com we will consider the value of being dangerous on demand. Where should you not go in the aftermath of a natural disaster? 

Also, we have a Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. How important are portable radios during this time in our history? Can’t you just rely on your phone? During our Froglube Pro Tip Professor Paul discusses a frozen pistol.

You know how the left says only the police should have guns because they are professionals? We’ll consider some of the “professional” behavior of cops with guns and you make up your own mind. 

Do you really need “suppressor height sights” to use a silencer on a pistol? During our Tech Talk form EOTech Inc. Professor Paul will address that question. During our Froglube ProTip, we have some feedback from one of you, an SOTG listener.

A 12 year old Wisconsin boy saved his father from a vicious bear attack. What happened and what lessons are there for us to take away from this situation?

We are saddened at the passing of yet another master gunsmith and icon in our industry. Ed Brown, master 1911 pistolsmith and founder of Ed Brown Products, recently lost his battle with cancer and his journey has ended. 

US House Rep. Thomas Massie has introduced The National Constitutional Carry Act (HR 9534). What would the passage of this bill mean, particularly to those who live in “blue states” run by organized criminals? Listen louder. 

During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc we will consider the difference between an SKS and an AKM rifle. We have a FrogLube Pro Tip and an SOTG Homeroom. A Massachusetts man has been arrested and charged in what appeared on the face to be a clear cut case of self-defense. Do you know how to answer the Big 3 questions regarding justifiable deadly force?

Many moons ago, when Lyndon Johnson was the President of the United States, I was born in Detroit, Michigan, not Warren like some posers who claim to come from the “mean streets of Motown.” Despite what you might have heard, growing up in the Motor City in the 1970’s was not that bad for a kid. You learned which streets you could walk on and which ones you did not dare to. However, by 1983, when we lived off of “Six and Gratiot” the city was taking a hard turn for the worse.

My mother was born and lived for a time in rural Ohio in her youth. My parents decided that we needed a change from city life so, like the Beverly Hillbillies in reverse, we packed up the truck and moved from the bright lights of the big city to the cornfields of rural Holmes County, Ohio. It turned out to be one of the best and most important experiences of my life.     

A “Hobby Farm”

Leaving Detroit behind, we moved into a small farm house that had previously been built by the English, but most recently owned by the Amish, therefore it had no electricity, telephone, etc. when we took occupancy. There were indoor plumbing and fixtures, but they weren’t hooked up. For the first few weeks we roughed it, lighting the house with kerosene lamps in the evening, using an outhouse and drawing water from an outside well. There was a genuine wood-burning cook stove in the kitchen where my mother prepared our hot food until the electrician came to hook up the power and the plumber got the inside water running.

Back in May, we had Paul Glasco on the show with us to discuss his new book “How To Make A Monster: A Sensible Look At Rampage Killers”, and in light of recent events, we thought it pertinent to share this interview with you again.

In this discussion, Mr. Glaso explains factors that tie all of the recent rampage killers together. What facts has the mainstream media deliberately overlooked or flat out lied about?

From amzn.to/4dP4NOs:

In “How To Make A Monster”, Paul Glasco performs a true root cause analysis of rampage killers - sometimes referred to as "mass shooters". The book looks at how broken homes, being bullied, and children on psychotropic drugs can affect personalities as young people mature. Previous killers from shootings such as Columbine, Virginia Tech, Las Vegas, and Parkland are broken down based on these causal factors.

Paul goes on to explain in detail how profitable the business of rampage killings is for the media, politicians, and other opportunists by tracing the money back to these people making the money and why they offer no solutions or suggestions on how to prevent rampage killings or on false claims of "gun safety."

Not only does Paul break down potential contributing factors as to how rampage killers may be created, but he also offers suggestions on how to prevent future potential killers from being created and how to recognize and deal with signs of potential trouble.

“Strong people are harder to kill and more useful in general.” So Matt Reynolds, founder of Barbell Logic Online Coaching has said. Recently Matt delivered a motivational talk at the Tactical Response Alumni Weekend. We are going to share that with you.

During our SOTG Homeroom from www.SOTGU.com, we consider yet again the importance of being dangerous on demand. This time it was a Las Vegas resident who was called upon to stop a maniac from killing innocent people.

As usual, we have a Tech Talk from EOTech Inc, a Froglube ProTip and much more. Tune in and listen louder.

From www.shootingnewsweekly.com:

Not long ago, I began a review by stating, “It’s a strange thing to live long enough to see something that was once commonplace become…unique.”  Yet here again I find myself preparing to tell a story about a gun that in my youth was so commonplace that no one really needed to explain its history or significance. When I started writing firearms-related articles in the early 1990’s you didn’t need to spend time telling the story of the Browning Hi-Power, AKA the P35. The majority of gun people already knew it.

Now, thirty years or so later — wow, have I been writing that long? — we have an entire generation, maybe two, who weren’t raised on the old WWII or Cold War guns. Some of those people confuse the term Hi-Power with Hi-Point. About a year ago, my friend Nicholas Orr wrote a book discussing the historical significance of many small arms used during the last century and a half; A Pipe Hitters Guide to Small Arms & Weapons. With Mr. Orr’s permission, I’ve pulled an excerpt from that book.

From www.lawenforcementtoday.com:

Sometimes it takes a good guy with a gun to take out someone intent on doing people harm. Such is the case in Las Vegas where a Good Samaritan did just that, likely preventing a man from killing a number of people. 

Las Vegas Metro police said that a man, who was not identified, showed up for his job with a home remodeling firm and was declared "unfit" to work. He was subsequently fired by his employer. That led the man to go on an unhinged rampage, with him getting into his SUV and driving recklessly down the street, RVM News reported. Some residents who were out on the streets and sidewalks had to dive out of harm’s way. 

One resident told reporters about the incident. 

“He was trying to hit somebody, and it was either going to be me or the kid or whoever’s standing in that road,” said Richard Osayna. 

However, the incident was not without victims. Two men were struck by the suspect’s SUV, including his now-former boss, with the incident happening in Osayna’s driveway.

No, this is not an old story, this just happened, again. A 10 year old boy in Tennessee was disciplined and expelled from school for the entire year after he “angrily pointed his finger in the shape of a gun”. Get Your Kids Out of Public Schools! (GYKOPS)

Professor Paul is compelled to once more address the “sacred cow” issue. Not everyone who puts on a uniform is automatically a hero. Some men, and women, who put on uniforms become thugs and criminals for the state. Listen louder before you comment.

Yes, we have a Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. That company had released the new “DCR” optic with a “Danger Close Reticle”. We have a Froglube pro tip of the week and Paul did what he said he was going to do.

Every American Son of Liberty should have experience with and possession of the most famous cartridge that John Moses Browning ever invented; the .50 BMG (Browning Machine Gun). Professor Paul recently reviewed a rifle that is a cost effective entry-level .50 BMG.

During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc, we will talk about mounting optics on the big .50. During our Froglube Pro Tip, Paul has come up with another use for the Super Degreaser.

Also, during our SOTG Homeroom from www.SOTGU.com, we consider a recent OpEd on Shooting News Weekly. Do you offer advice when you are at a public gun range? Should you? And, how can we best be prepared to give good advice to new gun owners?

From www.shootingnewsweekly.com:

Before we go one step further, I want to go on record as stating that every American son of liberty should have access to and experience with a rifle that fires the greatest cartridge that John Moses Browning ever made, the .50 BMG (Browning Machine Gun) round. 

That being said, any rifle chambered in .50 BMG might seem price prohibitive and that will be true for some. But with the correct budgeting, owning the most powerful centerfire rifle available can be done. Particularly if you don’t try to shoot your wad all at once. 

Noreen Firearms ULR 2.0 .50 BMG

A couple of years ago I walked into my favorite ranch store in Laramie, Wyoming and behind the gun counter was something I had never seen before. The rifle was big — very big — and painted in a desert camouflage pattern. I figured it had to be a .50 BMG and the clerk confirmed that it was indeed a Noreen Firearms ULR rifle.

The man behind the counter indulged me and passed the massive gun over for my inspection. I had that conflicted feeling in my guts. I really wanted to buy it right there and then, but the reasonable devil talked me out of it. No, the reasonable devil’s name is not Nancy.

Taking a page from the tyrant George III, the current Police Commissioner of London has put we colonists on notice that he intends to arrest and extradite to England those of us who violate Britians online political speech laws. We are not making this up.

During our Tech Talk from EOTech, we will report on the performance of the VUDU riflescope during the recent High Elevation Precision Rifle training course. Just how far did our friend from EOTech shoot his rifle? 

We have our weekly Pro Tip from Froglube. Yes, firearms, to include AR-15 style rifles, are simple machines and they need to be cleaned and properly lubricated, not run dry. Also, during our SOTG Homeroom we have another report of a shark attack. This one cost a 15 year old girl her leg.
