Remember, you need the right gear and the right training!.  Then Scott Moore with WAC Outdoors joins the crew for some gun law discussions.

The winner of the 2 tickets to attend the San Joaquin Rifle & Pistol Range "Extreme Halloween On The Range" and be entered for 2 chances to win a LWRC AR-15 is announced...the winner does something incredible! Listen to find out what they do.
